Please submit your photos to hairshirt@tbn.ca for posting on web page.

Hairshirt Lite
Metric Double Century
200 km in one day!

This is a social ride. TBN will not be posting finishing times.

Start location: Burlington GO station south parking lot, 2101 Fairview St, Burlington.

Ride leader: Self Organised

The outbound route climbs the Niagara Escarpment from Stoney Creek and then goes along the ridge, mostly on Ridge Road. Then it's Ball's Falls, Effingham Hill, following the Welland River and finally entering Niagara Falls from the south. This leg follows the Niagara Parkway northwards to Queen Street. At Queen St switch over to the return route. (Perhaps after a side trip to Taps Brewhouse).
Route on RideWithGPS: Burlington to Niagara Falls

The return route from Niagara Falls continues from Queen St on the Niagara Parkway heading northward to Niagara-on-the-Lake, then westward skirting Lake Ontario.
Route on RideWithGPS: Niagara Falls to Burlington

The full route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/40610689. Load the full route into your Garmin or RWGPS app to get the entire ride into one Strava file. However, if your device tends to get confused when the out and back routes overlap, it may be better to load the outbound and return routes separately.

If interested, Taps Brewhouse is on Queen St, 0.8 km west of the point where the outbound route ends and the return route begins.

Sunset will be at 8:02 pm. If there is any chance you will still be riding after 7:30 pm, you must have lights, front and rear.

The return leg is routed on the Hamilton Beach Trail. This is a pleasant alternative to the usual Hairshirt route which only follows roads - HOWEVER you will need to slow down because of people and pets on the Trail.

Taking the GO train back to Burlington. What if you need to exit the ride at the half-way point? The Niagara Falls train station, at Bridge St and Erie Ave, is only 6 blocks from Taps Brewhouse. Click here for the Updated GO Schedule. There are Presto pay stations on the platform, or tickets can be purchased in the station. If you use Presto, be sure to tap off at Burlington, or you will be charged for the distance to Toronto.

Attendance will be checked at the start. If you register after 8 am on the day of the ride bring a copy of the confirmation email, either printed or electronic, to show to the ride leader.

This is an Urban Roller level ride. If you are uncertain whether this level is appropriate to your riding level, click here. For a more nuanced description check this page.

Travel through Mississauga and get rewarded with a beautiful rest spot in Eldorado Park.

You will need to bring your own lunch on this ride as opportunities to pick something up on the way are poor, and there is no food for sale at the park.

The route was revised a few years back to eliminate the dreary section along McLaughlin and allow us to see a bit of what Meadowvale used to look like before it was swallowed by the suburbs that took its name but none of its charm. It was well received so we're sticking with it.

This ride is considered to be at the upper end of the Urban Roller category. It is not recommended for Leisure Wheelers.

Meet for a 10 am departure from the north parking lot of the Kipling subway TTC station. If you are driving the parking lot can only be accessed from Dundas St.

If the ride is cancelled due to weather or other reasons, the cancellation will be posted by 8 am on Sunday. Please check the website before leaving for the ride.

August Dining Out: Latino Japanese

On Thursday, August 20, we will be dining at a very unique restaurant in the west end. Mai Bistro offers a fascinating selection of Japanese dishes with South American influences. Most of the dishes are in the form of small or large tapas, so they are ideal for sharing. There are also a number of vegetarian options available. Prices are very reasonable considering the reputation of the head chef (see below).

Chef's profile from Mai Bistro's website:

Classically trained Japanese chef Manh Nguyen has worked with some of the best Japanese chefs in the city. He was the Sous Chef for the Intercontinental Hotel in Caracas, Venezuela. During his time living in South America and using this experience, he developed a new style of Asian and Latino cooking. Upon returning to Toronto, he began working at the Supermarket restaurant with a new menu focusing on family style dining and a tapas style sharing menu that has gained great reviews from customers. In 2005 he was named one of the “Top 10 New Chefs” in the city.

You can view the menu and more info about the restaurant here:

Our reservation is for 6:30, so please try to arrive on time.

Sunday Tourist: Finch - Bolton (23 Aug 2026)

Sun, 23 Aug 2026 13:30:00 GMT

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.

There are some hills on this ride, but for the most part they are short, and the coffee stop in Kleinburg is right after the steepest one so you can get a chance to recover if you need it. The hills are done with by the time we cross back over the 400 on the way to lunch.

Sunday Urban Roller - New Highland Creek

Please note: You must register to participate on the ride. Registration is free for TBN members. Non-members can now purchase a 30 day trial membership for $15 here and then can register for the ride. If you cannot attend, please cancel your reservation by Saturday. Attendance will be checked at the start. If you register after 8 am on the day of the ride bring a copy of the confirmation email, either printed or electronic, to show to the ride leader.

We are still under Covid-19 guidelines, so remember to bring and wear your mask in appropriate situations and maintain social distancing. Also, a helmet.

This is an Urban Roller level ride. If you are uncertain whether this level is appropriate to your riding level, click here. For a more nuanced description check this page.

Start point note: Due to the closure of the parking lot at Victoria Park subway for condo construction the start point has been moved to the parking lot of the Shoppers World plaza at the SW corner of Victoria Park and Danforth. The RwGPS map still shows the old start point.

Danforth construction note: If you riding to the start point from the west along the Danforth Ave bike lanes please be aware that due to significant roadwork there is no bike lane between Main St and Victoria Park. Traffic is a single lane shared with cars. However, there is a simple alternative route. Turn left (north) at Main. Just north of the Main TTC station there is a small laneway leading west. This leads to Coleman Ave, which runs parallel to Danforth. Take it east to its end at Sibley Ave, turn right and it will put you back at Danforth at a set of lights. From there it's just a short distance to the parking lot entrance to Shoppers World.

For this newer version of a favourite TBN ride we will be starting from Shoppers World, eliminating the big hill from the Beaches up to Kingston Road. We will be using a bit of the SMR route to Guildwood but continuing further up the Gatineau (Meadoway) Trail and then using a brand new connection to the upper part of East Highland Creek. A section of the trail about 100 metres in length is loose gravel so you will have to walk your bikes through that bit.

Lunch is at Tim Hortons near the two thirds point so you might want to bring something to snack on to keep your energy up. You may still wish to bring your own lunch and snacks to avoid lineups and contact.

Meet for a 10 am departure from the parking lot of the Victoria Park TTC station, located on the east side of Victoria Park Avenue, one block north of Danforth Avenue.

If the ride is cancelled due to weather or other reasons, notice of the cancellation will be posted on the website around 8 am Sunday. Please check before leaving for the ride.

Wednesday Wheelie - Glen Williams to Alton (09 Sep 2026)

Wed, 09 Sep 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Gather Café in Alton

This ride was pulled from the WW archives to add variety at the end of the season. Both routes face a fairly challenging climb on an unpaved road near the start of the ride, then roll along beautiful country roads, through some of the prettiest towns in the area. Both routes stop for lunch at The Gather Cafe in Alton, then continue south, climbing past the Caledon Ski Club. The routes diverge at Forks of the Credit Rd where the shorter route goes through Belfountain, where refreshments are available, while the longer route offers the thrilling option of riding down the switchbacks and through Inglewood. The two routes meet again at Creditview Rd, riding through Cheltenham and Terra Cotta for a final climb back to Glen Williams. Although both routes are close in distance, the longer route has a couple more climbs.

Simcoe County Loop Trail 3 Day Tour (reg open) (12 Sep 2026)

Sat, 12 Sep 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Simcoe County Loop Trail 3 Day Tour (reg open)
Sep 12-13-14, 2026

Trip Leader: Carl Friesen. 647-998-4057. cfriesen@rogers.com

For those who missed the earlier Simcoe County Loop multi-day ride, here’s another chance to ride a similar route, the Simcoe County Loop Trail, that is an Ontario gravel classic. It’s got gorgeous lake views, the riding is mostly off-road on crushed-stone rail trails, and there are plenty of quaint villages, towns (and bakeries) along the way. Three days, 170 km total, for an easy-paced ride at an Advanced Leisure Wheeler pace (14-18 kph), and about 57 km per day. You’ll need a bike suitable for unpaved surfaces, panniers to carry your spare clothing and rain gear, and necessities for minor bike problems such as a flat tire. Accommodation in hotels, meals will be in local restaurants. Maximum ten people.

When you finish request your free Simcoe County Loop Trail T-Shirt: https://cyclesimcoe.ca/shirt-request/

Cost: $165.00 per person, tax-included, plus your meals and other incidentals. The registration fee includes two nights’ accommodation, based on double occupancy. The trip leader will try to arrange rooms and roommates; please let me know if there is someone you prefer to share with.

Add in your cost of meals, coffee, and butter tarts. Since the hotel breakfasts tent to involve mostly orange juice, bagels, and Froot Loops, you may want to pack some of your own protein. And snacks.

Riding pace and bicycles: This will be an Advanced Leisure Wheeler ride, pace 14-18 kph, no drop. It’s mostly flat along rail trails, on crushed stone, so it’s not as fast as pavement. Skinny-tire road bikes don’t do well on these surfaces; it’s better to have gravel width tires, with minimum 700x32 and preferred 700x38 or wider.

What to bring: You’ll need the ability to carry your luggage: clothing for the evenings, plus cool-weather clothing, and rain gear. It’s September, so bring your gloves and arm warmers, plus jacket.

Cancellation policy: TBN overnight rides are priced to break even. If you register and then cancel before 5 September (a week before the ride start), we’ll refund your money less a $20 cancellation fee. For cancellations made starting 5 Sept. and onwards, there won’t be a refund for you unless you can provide a replacement rider to take your place, or we can get a replacement from the Wait List. The $20 cancellation fee still applies.

Cancellation due to weather: The trip will proceed unless the weather forecast for the area, 48 hours ahead, is irredeemably bad.

Staying informed: A WhatsApp group will be created so we can stay in touch. So if you’re not already using WhatsApp, you should sign up for a (free) account from your phone’s App Store or equivalent. Important messages will also go out on email.

ITINERARY

Saturday, 12 September: We’ll meet near Barrie at 10:00 AM at the Simcoe County main office at 1110 Highway 26, Midhurst ON. We’ll meet in the parking lot to the right, after you enter the driveway off Highway 26. Overnight parking is free if we register our vehicles. There is a FLO recharge station marked. Washrooms are available. We’ll park, load up the bikes and ride through central Barrie, the only “urban” area on the route. From there, we pick up the Oro-Medonte rail trail, with views of Lake Simcoe, to Orillia. We’ll stay at the local Comfort Inn, 75 Progress Avenue, Orillia ON. Distance 45.4 km and climbing 269 m.

First day route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/56289995

Sunday, 13 September: We’ll ride from Orillia to Midland, pausing to enjoy the Georgian Bay views, along more rail trail. We’ll stop in Coldwater for lunch and/or coffee. We’ll pass by the well-known Ste-Marie-Among-the-Hurons historic site, and the Martyr’s Shrine. Overnight, we’re at the Midland Inn & Suites, 720 Prospect Blvd. in Midland ON. Distance 59.4 km and climbing 306 m.

Second day route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/56290002

Sunday Urban Roller - Alan Gordon Memorial ride - 9 am start! (parking note) (13 Sep 2026)

Sun, 13 Sep 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Sunday Urban Roller - Alan Gordon Memorial Ride - 9 am start!

Please note: You must register to participate on the ride. Registration is free for TBN members. Non-members can now purchase a 30 day trial membership for $10 here and then can register for the ride. If you cannot attend, please cancel your reservation by Saturday. Attendance will be checked at the start. If you register after 8 am on the day of the ride bring a copy of the confirmation email, either printed or electronic, to show to the ride leader.

We are still under Covid-19 guidelines, so remember to bring and wear your mask in appropriate situations and maintain social distancing. Also, a helmet.

This is an Urban Roller level ride. If you are uncertain whether this level is appropriate to your riding level, click here. For a more nuanced description check this page.

NOTE: If you are planning on driving to the start please note that the Beaches Terry Fox Run will be starting nearby so parking may be difficult to find. Expect to have to park further away than usual. Leave extra time to get to the start.

This ride is named after Alan Gordon, an early and influential TBN member. You can find out more information about him and his contributions to the club on the TBN website here.

Although it has been shortened slightly it is still the longest Sunday Urban Roller ride of the year. Eighty six kilometres of mostly flat riding at an Urban Roller pace. If you'd like to do the distance but are unsure if you can keep up the pace, please note that there is a Leisure Wheeler ride doing a similar route at a more relaxed paced starting from the same spot.

We will ride from Toronto's Beach(es) area along the Waterfront Trail to a lunch stop (McDonalds) in Clarkson. You can of course bring your own food if you prefer. Given the length of the ride it is a good idea to bring along a few snacks to help keep your energy up. Full water bottles too. Then we will reverse course and retrace our steps with a few variations.

The Ride with GPS map is essentially correct except that just after lunch we will eliminate the leg that goes out to Oakville and turn left (instead of right) onto Orr Road at the 43.8 km mark. This shortens the ride by 15 kms.

Meet for an early 9 am start at Boardwalk Place. It's just east of of Coxwell on Lakeshore Boulevard. Public parking is available in the adjacent lot accessed from Coxwell.

If a ride is cancelled due to weather or other circumstances a cancellation notice will be posted around 8 am on Sunday morning. Please check before leaving for the ride.

Remember to bring and wear your helmet.

Sunday Urban Roller - Can I get a ride to the Airport? (04 Oct 2026)

Sun, 04 Oct 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Can I get a ride to the Airport?

Please note: You must register to participate on the ride. Registration is free for TBN members. Non-members can now purchase a 30 day trial membership for $10 here and then can register for the ride. If you cannot attend, please cancel your reservation by Saturday. Attendance will be checked at the start. If you register after 8 am on the day of the ride bring a copy of the confirmation email, either printed or electronic, to show to the ride leader.

Please remember to bring (and wear) a helmet.

Aviation is the theme of this fairly easy ride that takes us around, and into, the airport. The route is almost entirely on residential streets and empty industrial roads, with no killer hill climbs, and a few long runways where you can fire up the afterburners. Depending on the wind, we may have some close up views of aircraft landing.

There are two rest stops on this ride: a short one at the Tim Horton's and Wendy's at Dixie Road and Mid-way Boulevard, and a longer one (lunch) at a Tim Horton's and A&W at Airport Road and Northwest Drive, which is near the approach to runway 23.

This particular ride will be at a faster pace than the usual Sunday Urban Roller ride. Note that this is not a "slow" or "beginner" ride. You should be able to maintain a pace of at least 20km/h for at least 15 minutes, and be comfortable riding in a group and sharing the road with other traffic.

As a route note, there's a point on the route where Convair Drive connects to Britannia Road East. This is where the route goes east into the airport to the YYZ ATC tower, then back out by the same route. It's a turn that's easy to miss, and even bike navigation computers can get confused.

Finally, here's a good YouTube channel about aviation, but, nothing to do with bikes. https://www.youtube.com/@74gear/featured

Meet for a 10 am departure from the north parking lot of the Kipling subway TTC station. If you are driving the parking lot can only be accessed from Dundas St.

If the ride is cancelled due to weather or other reasons, the cancellation will be posted by 8 am on Sunday. Please check the website before leaving for the ride.

Leaders Choice: Waterfront Trail & Jim Tovey Park Fall Social/Mixer (24 Oct 2026)

Sat, 24 Oct 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Join us for a leisurely Saturday morning ride along the Waterfront Trail as we set off from Stonehooker Brewery in Port Credit in Mississauga to Sunnyside Park Café for coffee, then make our way back to Stonehooker Brewery via Mississauga’s newest conservation area – ‘Jim Tovey Park’.

This is a new 26 hectare waterfront park at the shore of Lake Ontario. Here we will discover the beauty of nature at this restored stretch of the shoreline with revitalized habitats and a network of trails, pedestrian bridges and a cycling trail beside the future site of Lakeview Village. Jim Tovey park is a great spot for cycling, walking, bird-watching, dog walking and amateur photography along 3.7 km of trail with a breath-taking view of Toronto. The route can get busy with pedestrians so this will not be a “fast ride” and will be slow in some places for everyone’s safety – the emphasis for this ride is relaxation, fun, safety and the social.

Start location: Parking Lot behind Stonehooker Brewing Company, 866 Lakeshore Rd E, Mississauga.

Ride leader: Sanj Devarajan

Route: StoneHooker to SunnySide Cafe and back via Jim Tovey Conservation Area

The Plan:
Washrooms: At Birds & Beans Café (1^st “pit stop”), Sunnyside Pavilion Café (2^nd “pit stop”), Jim Tovey Park (3^rd “pit stop”), Stonehooker Brewey (Final/4^th “pit stop”)

Distance: 31 km

Pace: ~20 km/h (no drop)

Après Ride: Lunch at Stonehooker Brewey (optional)

Only registrants are permitted to join the ride. (If you do not have a regular TBN membership, you can purchase a 30-Day-Trial membership - click here). If have registered and then find out you can't come, please cancel your registration.

Check the website before you head to the start in case the event is cancelled or rescheduled at the organizer's discretion.

This is an Urban Roller level ride. If you are uncertain whether this level is appropriate to your riding level, click here. For a more nuanced description check this page.

A slightly shorter ride for our last Urban Roller outing this year. This one will take us up the Humber to the Eglinton bike path, then down a bit of Mimico Creek and (mostly) quiet streets to a different Tim Hortons for lunch. From there it's over to the Etobicoke Creek trail down to the lake, and back along the Waterfront Trail and the Birmingham St bike lanes to Royal York. Then back up the Royal York bike lanes to the start.

Meet at Etienne Brule Park for a 10 am start.

The parking lot at Brule is still partially occupied by construction so if the lot is full you may need to use the parking lot of Kings Mill Park, just back across the bridge over the Humber and on the south side.

The Ride with GPS map for the route is linked below.

If a ride is cancelled due to weather or other circumstances a cancellation notice will be posted around 8 am on Sunday morning. Please check before leaving for the ride.

a) "Event-date - 30 days"

and b) "Avail Period From for the "Free for TBN Members" ticket". As a courtesy, consider adding availability date info to the "Ticket Type Description text"
