A special Leisure Wheeler Ride on a Saturday.
Aldershot, Hamilton Harbour, Burlington (The Hamilton Beach Ride)
Note: This is a 48 km advanced Leisure Wheeler Ride.
This delightful ride, normally on a Sunday, will be on Saturday in order to more easily navigate the TTC and the GO Train schedules. We take the Niagara Train from Union Station to Aldershot. The ride then begins at the Aldershot Go station and follows quiet roads to the Royal Botanical Gardens. We then ride around Hamilton Harbour. After the harbour, there are approximately 10 kms through the centre of Hamilton to reach the east end of Hamilton and the entrance to Confederation Park and the Hamilton Beach Trail. From that trail, we cross into Burlington and end at the Burlington Go. This will be an all day ride, probably ending at 3:00 pm. (late lunch/early supper afterward for those who wish).
After the Ride: Join us at "The Express" restaurant (Italian Bistro with pizza, pasta, salads)http://expressrestaurant.com/burlington/menu.html on Lakeshore Rd. in Burlington before we go to the GO Station. It has a large patio but we will need to reserve. If you would like to join us at the restaurant, contact Sandra by noon Friday September 4 at leisurewheeler@tbn.ca
Bring: snacks, (or picnic lunch), extra drinks, spare inner tube. Wear helmet.
This ride may be cancelled due to the weather. Notification of cancellation will appear after 6:40 AM.
There are washrooms at Union Go and Aldershot Go. At 18 km we can stop at "Grandad's Donuts" to buy a morning snack. At 32 km we will stop again so that you can eat another snack you have brought or your picnic lunch if you are not going to the restaurant.
START: Plan to meet at the YORK concourse for the GO train at Union Station at 8:40 AM
Note: If you decide to drive to Aldershot GO, please let us know and meet us at the exit on the north side of the Aldershot GO Station at 10:06 AM. Be aware that the ride will end in Burlington. You would have to find your way back to Aldershot and your car.
We will take the Niagara Excursion Train which leaves Union Station at: 9:04 AM It arrives at Aldershot at 10:02 AM where we will exit on the north side of the station.This special train is preferable because it has bike racks on the lower level of some cars. The return train from Burlington is not a special Niagara Excursion Train and will not have bike racks.

Saturday Morning at Tigchelaar Farm
We ride on some of the nicest backroads in Escarpment Country, and then arrive at the park-like Tigchelaar Farm Market. This farm market has plenty of outdoor tables and chairs under a canopy of trees. They have coffee made from direct-trade Nicaraguan beans that they roast on-site. They have butter tarts, fruit pastries, and scones. Their story spans the Netherlands, Canada, and Nicaragua.
Take a look at Jo Koga's blog on this ride - click here.
This ride takes us from the Campbellville CarPool lot to Puslinch through the rolling countryside around Campbellville. Lunch is at the Tigchelaar Farm Market (268 Puslinch Townline Rd., tel: 905-659-3659. Open Friday 8-12 and Saturday 8-3. Cash or e-transfer.)
Start location: Campbellville CarPool Lot on Reid Sideroad across the road from the New Ball Park.
Routes: 58, 70, 82, 98 routes
Ride Leader: Rick MacMillan.
Please register so that you can join this ride. If you have registered, but then are unable to attend, please cancel your registration.
This is a Tourist level ride. To check if this level is appropriate to you, click here and scroll down to Class - Tourist.
Check the website 2 hours before the start time in case of updates.
NOTES: Please note the only place for food & water is the Tigchelaar Farm Market at 41.3km (57km route) / 53.8km (70, 82, 98 km routes).
Also note that if you are planning to ride these routes on another day, the Tigchelaar Farm Market is open only on Friday (8 to 12) and Saturday (8 to 3).
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.

Distance: 69km or 83km or 102km
PLEASE PRINT THE CUE SHEETS & MAPS, OR DOWNLOAD THE GPS FILES BEFORE ATTENDING THE RIDE. (The ride leader does not provide maps or cue sheets).

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

The David Peebles Secret Circuit
Description: A variation on the very first (and shortest) Tuesday ride that David created. This is the original description from 2003: “A half-hidden ravine ride for freelancers, shift workers, people between jobs, retirees, and ne’er-do-wells". This downtown route has a minimum of street riding and only two hills (OK, so the first one is Poplar Plains). Some unpaved paths. This variation is taking into account the construction at the Eglinton West Subway Station.
Lunch stop at the Madison Pub.
Start: 10:30 a.m. in Taddle Creek Park, one block north of the Bedford exit of the St. George subway station on the West side of Bedford. (Try to arrive at 10:15 AM, to allow for subway delays, bike problems, etc.)
Distance: 18 kms

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.

People go to Port Hope every weekend from mid-August to early October to watch the 5,000 to 10,000 chinook and silvery coho salmon swim from Lake Ontario up the Ganaraska River that runs through Port Hope on their way to their home spawning grounds. The two cycling routes (below) are based on the Newcastle Navigator Country Cruise which leave from Newcastle and head north-east to Port Hope for lunch. Each route has four optional stops to watch the Salmon Run (see cue sheets for details) before getting to Port Hope. After lunch, all routes are the same returning to Newcastle along the Lake Ontario shoreline. Lunch for all routes will be at Memorial Park Bandshell on Augusta St in Port Hope. Bring your own lunch or grab food at any of the locations on Walton, John or Queen streets.
Start: 50 Glass Ct, Newcastle, ON L1B 1M5. Meet at the Newcastle Public School parking lot on Glass Court in Newcastle. For driving directions, click here.

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.

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.
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.
Distance: 86 kms

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!
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.

Ride Leader: TBD
Do you want to increase your cycling skill level? Be safer and more defensive rider Improve your safety on the road? Increase your confidence about riding on city streets? Whether you are a new or a long-term rider, there is always something to learn, some skills to improve, and, admit it, some bad habits to unlearn. Perhaps you are a TBN ride leader, but you are uncertain about what skills / behaviours to demonstrate and encourage as you lead your ride.
CAN-BIKE provides structured classes to help you with all this and more! CAN-BIKE provides a Canada-wide skills curriculum as defined by Cycling Canada, and is recommended by provincial governments and many Canadian cities.
Our CAN-BIKE classes are open to all TBN members.
When you register for this theory class, you will receive an email detailing how to complete an additional required online prerequisite education session. This will take you approximately 45 minutes. Please complete this ONE WEEK before the Friday session. If you fail to complete by this time you may be removed from the event.
We are not limiting attendance for the Friday Evening Theory Class. The Theory Class will cover the guiding principles of safe cycling: See, Be Seen, Be Predictable. Those principles then tie into the main CAN-BIKE mantra Maneuverability, Visibility, Predictability, and Communication (MVPC). The Theory Class also cover urban riding, rural riding, group riding, cold weather riding, warm weather riding, nighttime riding, human kinesiology/energy systems, and navigating.
Note: In order to complete either Level 3 or Level 4, students must also register and complete the complementing practical session. See https://www.tbn.ca/event-6795465 for that event on Sat Sept 19 and Sun Sept 20.
*Note: you must also register separately for the in-person class on Sept 18th.
Register here for Sept 18th in person CanBike session.
Questions? Contact education@tbn.ca
The first day will cover skills common to both Level 3 and Level 4. If you are intending to only take the Level 3 Practical Class the next day, please use the registration option for Level 3. You will be given an evaluation of your skills at the end of day 1.
The second day of the practical session will cover advanced skills. Rides will be longer and on busier roads. Your application of the theory presented will be carefully evaluated (Road Test). Your mastery of the advanced bike handling skills introduced on Day 1 and 2 will be evaluated. There will also be a written test at the end of Day 2. To be certified at Level 4, you will be required to have 70% or higher each of the Road Test, skills components, and the written test.
If, based on your skills shown on Day 1, the instructors deem that you will be able to complete the 2nd day, you will be advised to attend on Day 2.
If you previously took the Level 3 class in past, and wish to get Level 4 certified you must attend both Day 1 (Level 3) and Day 2 practical sessions.
If you are interested in becoming a CAN-BIKE Level 5 (Instructor), you must score 90% on the Bike Skills, 80% on the written test, and 90% on the Road test.
This class is an in-person, on-bike follow-on to the Theory class. We are limiting attendance for the Practical Class to 12 attendees. We will spend approximately 50% of our time in a quiet parking lot practicing bike handling skills and other on-bike topics, and 50% of our time riding around the streets putting to practice the skills that we have covered. We will have a couple of short breaks, plus a lunch break.
You will be required to sign a CAN-BIKE specific waiver. You can see the copy of the waiver at: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ron9cB9KDDCLaRp_d1EeHLiwAZLzx8Ry?usp=drive_link

This is an advanced Urban Roller-level ride. If you are uncertain whether this level is appropriate to you, click here and scroll down to Class - Urban Roller. For this ride on a rail trail, the elevation is modest. Note that the distance and speed are more toward the upper end of the Urban Roller classification.
Please join us on Saturday, September 19, at 2:00 PM for an in-person City Walk planning meeting at The Pilot, 22 Cumberland St (near Yonge and Bloor). The Pilot is an historic pub with a partially covered rooftop patio, which provides shade from the sun and protection from the rain. We will meet on the 3rd floor rooftop patio. There may be live music on another floor, but if you tell them you are going to the rooftop patio, there is no charge.
Please register so that we can reserve the appropriate number of seats (although, feel free to join us, even if you have not registered). Note that if we are a party of 8 or more, a 20% gratuity will be automatically added to the bill. They will provide individual bills.
This fall, we intend to run a full schedule of City Walks, starting around the beginning of November and continuing to mid-December. As usual, we will have a walk every Sunday, starting at 10:00 AM. We may also offer some walks on weekdays this fall, if there is enough interest.
We will also offer our less formal program of Winter City Walks, from the beginning of January until it is nice enough to cycle in the spring, where the start points, end points, and routes will typically not be announced until a few days before the walk. This allows us to select a route appropriate for the expected weather conditions, reflect current events, or other items of interest.
If you would like to have some input, or have some suggestions, or are curious about the program, or would just like to get together with some friends, please join us.
If you are unable to make it, but would like to have some input, we will also be having an on-line Zoom meeting, Thursday, September 18 at 7:00 PM. I will send out the Zoom link before the meeting. Alternatively, you can email me any of your ideas at citywalks@tbn.ca
For more information on the City Walk program and some possible discussion topics, have a look at:

If you have any questions, or would like to volunteer to lead a walk, email me at citywalks@tbn.ca.

Keswick along the lake CC
Today's ride is a variation of other cycling routes in the Lake Simcoe area. It was added to the CC schedule in 2023 in partnership with some WWs who thought it would be nice to revisit the shores of Lake Simcoe on a Sunday, versus midweek, in Sept. The routes take us from Keswick along the picturesque shores of Lake Simcoe past Sibbald Point Provincial Park to Virginia Beach Marina. The medium and long routes turn inland, while the short route returns back along the shores of Lake Simcoe. Lunch for all three routes is Tim Horton's on Dalton Rd in Sutton. A pleasant alternative is Elaine’s Black River Coffee on High St.
Distances: 63km, 74km & 90km
Start: 9:30am Meet at the Georgina Ice Palace, 90 Wexford Drive, just off Woodbine Ave in Keswick
Driving Directions: Take Hwy 401 east to Hwy 404. Go north on Hwy 404 to Woodbine Ave. / Regional Rd. 8 - Exit 65. Turn left on Woodbine Ave. / Regional Rd. 8. Continue to Wexford Dr. and turn left. Turn right onto the driveway to the Georgina Ice Palace.

September Dining Out: Ethiopian/Eritrean
On Thursday, September 24, we will be back in the east end and dining at one of Toronto's best Ethiopian restaurants. Rendez-Vous Ethiopian and Eritrean Restaurant offers a huge selection of salads, appetizers, vegetarian and meat dishes (fish, chicken, beef and lamb). Most of the dishes are in the form of small tapas so they are ideal for sharing. Prices are very reasonable considering the reputation of the head chef (see below).
Chef's profile from Rendez-Vous's website:
Banchi Kinde, Executive Chef and Owner of Rendez-Vous has been immersed in Ethiopian cuisine since childhood, following her mother’s culinary path. After honing her skills in esteemed establishments such as the Sheraton and Hilton hotels and various Ethiopian restaurants in the USA, she opened Rendez-Vous in 2001. Since then, the restaurant has become a cornerstone of the Danforth, known for its exceptional food and traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremonies.
You can view more info about the restaurant here: Click here to see an updated version of the menu.
Our reservation is for 6:30, so please try to arrive on time.
This event is limited to 16 members and their guests. Please register before Tuesday, September 22rd at midnight. Because these events are very popular, there is always a wait list, so please remember to cancel if you cannot make it. If you don't know how to cancel, please send a message to the email address below. Note that if you register and then not attend, and you do not cancel at least 24 hours before the event, you will be moved to the wait list for the next dinner you register for.

A Sunday Leisure Wheeler Ride on a Saturday!
Bring: snacks, EXTRA DRINKS, spare inner tube. Wear helmet.
This ride may be cancelled due to inclement weather. Notification of cancellation will appear after 6:30 AM.
Note: Because of the distance, this is a 55 km advanced Leisure Wheeler Ride. There is also a VERY steep downhill walk (10%grade) for about 8 minutes. It might be difficult to walk with a heavy e-bike. It is NOT possible to ride on this downhill spot because we will be walking on the shoulder against the traffic.
This unusual ride, normally on a Sunday, will be on Saturday in order to more easily navigate the TTC and the GO Train schedules. We take the Niagara Train from Union Station to Aldershot. The ride then begins at the Aldershot Go station on the NORTH side (where the washrooms are). This route will take us gradually to the escarpment above Hamilton where we will view the Albion Falls and the Devil's Punchbowl Conservation area. We then have a STEEP downhill walk and continue with a ride along the Hamilton Beach Trail. From that trail, we cross into Burlington and end at the Burlington Go. This will be an all day ride, probably ending at 4:30 pm. (early supper afterward for those who wish).
After the Ride: Join us at “The Express" restaurant (Mediterranean Bistro with pizza, pasta, salads) http://expressrestaurant.com/burlington/menu.html on Lakeshore Rd. in Burlington before we go to the GO Station. It has a large patio but we will need to reserve. If you would like to join us at the restaurant, contact Deb by 5:00 pm, Thursday September 24 at: leisurewheeler@tbn.ca
There are washrooms at Union Go and Aldershot Go.
START: Plan to meet at the YORK concourse at 8:40 AM for the GO train at Union Station at 9:05 am. We will arrive at Aldershot at 10:03 am and meet on the NORTH side of the station (where there are washrooms).
We will be taking the Niagara Excursion Train which leaves Union Station at: 9:05 am. It arrives at Aldershot at 10:03 am This special train is preferable because it has bike racks on the lower level of some cars. The return train from Burlington is not a special Niagara Excursion Train and will not have bike racks.

It has a good choice of bottled beers and six craft and Japanese beers on tap, which are available at the 1980s price of $5.99 a pint. View the full menu here.
Arisu also has a wonderful staff and a nice patio, which we may be able to use in the warmer months.
The schedule for the evening is as follows:
This will be an unusual pub quiz in that the participants will choose the categories before the quiz begins. Virtually any category is possible, including history, geography, 80s music, Soviet fashion, marine biology, supramolecular chemistry, and even cycling. The teams or four or five will brainstorm possible categories, and we all vote to determine the five most popular topics. Then, since each team will be responsible for one round of questions, they will work together to compose 8-10 questions in their assigned category. Phones are permitted only during this phase and during the break.
Arisu is conveniently located at 584 Bloor Street West on the corner of Bloor and Markham Street. It's a 30-second walk from Bathurst subway station if you use the Markham Street entrance. There is a large parking lot behind the restaurant.

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.
