Special Sunday Tourist Ride
in honour of Alan Gordon
Alan Gordon was a former TBN member and champion for the Leisure Wheeler program. You can read his tribute here. He strived to make cycling inclusive for everyone and after his passing in 2002, the Alan Gordon Memorial Rides in September where cyclists of all levels are given the opportunity to ride in a group and strive for distances they may not have covered before.
This ride is a Tourist Class ride for 105 km in Alan's honour, and part of a special day of Alan Gordon rides where we hope to see TBN jerseys everywhere on streets and trails from Toronto to Burlington!
This tourist class ride route has common sections with the UR and LW Alan Gordon rides that day. The tourist riders will likely be returning from Burlington when they cross paths on the waterfront trail. Please be cautious on busy trails and cheer on your fellow TBN'ers as you see them!
DESCRIPTION - Old Mill - Burlington & Return
Start time: 9:00 am
If you have a TBN jersey, please wear it for this ride!
From The Old Mill subway station we take a bike-friendly, flat route to the vibrant downtown locale of Burlington where we stop for lunch at Culture Coffee Cafe on Brant Street before returning to Old Mill.
Meet outside the main (and only) entrance/exit of The Old Mill subway station depicted below. There is free parking at King's Mill Park below the station. From King's Mill Park you will have to cycle to the front of the subway station by going around The Old Mill along Old Mill Rd to Old Mill trail, about a 4-minute ride.
