DESCRIPTION
Three route lengths (69km, 83 km and 102 km) are available. The two longer routes stop at Mercato Italian Bakery in Bolton for an optional lunch stop. The short route stops at Pine Farms Orchard on 16th Sideroad for lunch.
The beginning and end portions of the three rides are the same. The longer rides are essentially "loops" off the shorter rides. This means riders can choose during the ride whether to do the long, medium or short distance. This means you should also bring cue sheets for all routes you think you might ride. Likewise, for GPS units, you should download all routes you think you might ride.
Please note that the medium route has changed. After turning left onto Albion-Vaughan (from King Road) you go over the Humber River and then immediately turn right onto Old King Road. After about 300 metres you turn left onto the first street (unmarked) and then continue onto a paved trail, past two gates, and at the top of a steep climb you continue on Nunnville. This change avoids the climb on the busy Albion-Vaughan road.
Meet at Finch Subway Station, "Finch" west parking lot on the north side of Hendon Ave, just west of Yonge St.
N.B. If you are travelling north on Yonge St, keep going past Finch Ave and turn left onto Hendon Ave. The parking lot is on the right near 18 Hendon Ave, North York.
