Our Wild card ride re-runs a cancelled ride from earlier in the summer.
Please note ride starts at 8:30AM!
Today we will go in the OPPOSITE DIRECTION to add some variety into our ride. Please ensure you have downloaded the new reverse version of the route below.
Meet at Hornby Park to ride up the Niagara Escarpment to Rockwood.
The old way into the park is now blocked. Coming from Toronto along Steeles Ave, turn left at the traffic light at Hornby Rd into the area that is under construction. Follow around to the lower parking area at the ball diamond. See the picture below.
On the drive to Hornby Park, there is a Tim Hortons at the PetroCanada gas station on the north-west corner of Trafalgar Rd and Steeles Ave. Farther along on Steeles, at the traffic light where you turn onto Hornby Rd, the Esso gas station has a Hasty Mart.
Please note that the middle and long routes have been updated to keep us off Guelph Line as we go into Rockwood. The long route has further been updated to go to Arkell for a coffee/lunch stop.
