This is a new (2026) shorter version of the ride that takes into account that early April weather might not be the best and many of us may be a bit out of shape. The route will provide riders with some experience of newer cycling city infrastructure, new views and new ways around town.

The ride will be at Urban Roller pace - for more details click here.

Start: Stewarttown Middle School

We tenatively plan on doing a City Walk on this date, unless the weather is good enough for cycling. Check back later to confirm. The start location, route and other information may 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.

We will meet at about 10:00 AM at a location to be determined, and the walk will begin at 10:10.

Please check the website 2 hours before the start time, in the unlikely event that the walk is rescheduled or cancelled. If the walk is cancelled due to weather or other reasons, notice of the cancellation will be posted on the website around 8 am on the day of the walk.

We have introduced a 30-Day-Trial membership class which allows "guests" to participate in most activities over the span of a 1-month period. We are accepting Guest registrations.

If you have registered but can't attend, log in, click on "Already registered", then cancel.

Sun, 12 Apr 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Sunday Urban Roller - High Park to Weston

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.

Please remember to bring (and wear) 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.

TTC note: If you are planning on taking the TTC to the start please note that the Line 2 Bloor Danforth subway will be closed between Keele and St George stations for the entire weekend.

This is a new (2026) ride that takes into account that there might still be some ice or snow on the trails so it is almost entirely on roads, many with bike lanes. It's also a bit shorter as many of us might not have had many riding opportunities with this extended winter. Lunch (more like a snack stop) will be at the Rosemount Cafe in Weston. It's a bit pricier than the usual Tim Hortons so you may want to bring your own snack.

Meet for a 10 am departure from the Grenadier Cafe in the centre of High Park. The park is closed to cars on the weekend so if you are arriving by car you will need to park on the street nearby. Remember to allow extra time to get to the start point.

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.

Sunday Tourist: Finch - Bolton (26 Apr 2026)

Sun, 26 Apr 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.

Not a member, but you want to try this out? Sign up for our 30-Day-Trial membership and you can try out multiple TBN rides. See https://tbn.ca/join for details.

If you have not registered for the ride, you may NOT join the ride.

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).

April Pub Quiz (28 Apr 2026)

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 22:30:00 GMT

April Pub Quiz

You are invited to attend the monthly trivia night at Arisu Authentic Korean and Japanese Restaurant on Tuesday, April 28. Please register before Monday, April 27 at 6 pm.

Unfortunately, the Prenup Pub has closed down to make way for apartments. Fortunately, we have been able to move the quiz to a great Korean and Japanese restaurant. Arisu has a huge menu with an incredible variety of Japanese/Korean food including Korean BBQ, sushi, and a number of vegan/vegetarian options. It also has an extensive drink list featuring a good selection of wine, spirits, sake and soju. 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:

6:30: Arrival and order food and/or drinks
7:00: Choose teams, team names and quiz categories.
7:15: Questions are written for each round.
7:30: The quiz begins.
8:15: Break time
8:30: The second half begins.
9:15: End of quiz. Scores are calculated, winners are announced and prizes awarded.

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.

NOTE: Getting to the start from the east end may encounter the Toronto Marathon this Sunday. Here's a link to the maps so you can see if it affects you.

Now that the construction on Chesswood has finished (including cycling lanes!) we are returning the older version of the route.

A medium length ride to start May. This one will take us up to the Humber trail, then along (mostly) quiet streets to Downsview Park, a large urban park that is a work in progress. Then up to York University to a nearby Tim Hortons for lunch. From there it's west on the Finch Hydro corridor trail. Then it's a long run south beside Hwy 400, but without the traffic. Back under the 401 and retrace our steps to the start.

Meet at Etienne Brule Park for a 10 am start.

Part of the parking lot at Brule is still closed for construction so so 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. It's the first small lot on the right as you enter the park.

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.

Niagara Bike & Hike on Victoria Day Weekend (15 May 2026)

Fri, 15 May 2026 18:00:00 GMT

Niagara Bike & Hike, Victoria Day long weekend

Friday May 15 to Monday May 18 – four days for $295

Registration opens January 1, 2026.
Any questions contact the trip leader Carl Friesen <cfriesen@rogers.com>.

This weekend is a chance to get the cycling season off to a great start by joining one of TBN’s most popular rides along the quiet roads and off-road paved trails of the Niagara Region. This year we have 40 spots - note that this trip sold out quickly in previous years.

Accommodations

We’ll once again stay at the comfortable Niagara College residence near Niagara-on-the-Lake. You’ll have your own bedroom in a shared suite, complete with a shared full bathroom and shared kitchenette, including a refrigerator. Note a change in room furnishings from previous years. In each suite, one bedroom has a double bed, desk with chair and satellite TV. The second bedroom has two single loft over desk/bunk style beds.

There is a Tim Hortons and McDonald's in the large outlet mall, just a three-minute drive or ride away. For people looking to keep costs down, consider bringing your own supplies for breakfasts.

Note that given the shared bathroom and common area, attendees will be invited to select the other TBN member with whom they would like to share the suite.

RIdes

The rides are TBN "no-drop" ride level. All riders are expected to be able to maintain a comfortable pace of 18 kms per hour or higher. You are expected to be able to fix a flat, and ride with a spare inner tube, patches, tire levers and a pump.

Friday May 15 Warmup Ride

For those who can get away early, as in past years on Friday afternoon at 2 pm we will once again start with an optional warmup ride along the bike path from Niagara on the Lake to Niagara Falls and back, covering about 50 kms.

Friday’s ride will be followed by a group supper on the patio at Play Bar & Grille at the White Oaks Resort, which is located nearby. Alternatively you are welcome to organize informal group dinners at restaurants in the area.

Saturday May 16

Saturday’s rides feature long and short distances and run along the little-known paved off-road trail beside the Welland Canal, with a stop for lunch along the way.

After their ride, participants are invited to meet for an informal get together at the Niagara College Teaching Winery, Brewery, and Distillery, located next the location where we are staying. Each participant will receive a $25 gift card for buying beverages and there will also be snacks courtesy of TBN. Alternatively, participants can visit Niagara on the Lake or do a winetasting at one of the nearby wineries.

This will be followed by pizza, salad and dessert in the patio area outside the Niagara College dining room. Pizza and soft drinks will be supplied. In addition, we’ll be asking people to bring a salad or dessert. Please bring your own main course if you don’t like pizza, as well as anything stronger than pop to drink.

Something else to bear in mind is that in past years some members followed this by a drive to Niagara Falls to watch the fireworks over the gorge.

Sunday May 17

Sunday’s rides (again, long and short) begin from a remote start 15 minutes away in Niagara Falls along the paved trail beside the Niagara River Parkway – with a stop for lunch enroute.

For anyone interested, after we get back, we’ll be convening at the Niagara College Teaching Winery, Brewery, and Distillery

Sunday evening will feature group suppers at local restaurants, with a variety of cuisines and price points to choose from. Last year these dinners were very popular.

Monday May 18

Monday is your chance to join a final short early morning ride, do some hiking along the Bruce Trail, visit the Outlet Mall nearby or tour some wineries. To beat long weekend traffic, most riders head home by noon.

For anyone wanting to come out a day early or to extend your stay, contact Niagara College directly to make a reservation, mentioning that you are part of the TBN group staying from Friday to Sunday nights.

The City of Toronto website says "Each May, Doors Open Toronto invites the public to explore the city’s most-loved buildings and sites, free of charge. The event provides rare access to buildings that are not usually open to the public and free access to sites that would usually charge an admission fee. Since its inception in 2000, it has attracted more than two million visits to nearly 700 unique locations and remains the largest event of its kind in Canada."

This year’s Doors Open Toronto will take place on May 23 & 24. Information on the buildings & sites, talks, and neighbourhood tours being offered this year will soon be available at: https://www.toronto.ca/explore-enjoy/festivals-events/doors-open-toronto/. We encourage everyone to participate by visiting some of the sites.

If you would like to join some TBN members to visit some sites, please meet at a location and time to be announced later. If there are any buildings you would be interested in visiting, email me at citywalks@tbn.ca, and we will try to plan a get-together that a number of people will be interested in.

Sunday Tourist: Annina's Bakery in Goodwood (105 km or 93km) OR Ballantrae (80 km) (24 May 2026)

Sun, 24 May 2026 13:30:00 GMT

This ride for experienced riders will be run at speeds from around 20 to 26 km/hr (although faster riders are welcome as well!). For additional details on Sunday Tourist rides, please click here.

Click the Register button on this page to register for the ride.

DESCRIPTION

Three ride lengths (80 km, 93 km and 105 km) are available. The 80km ride stops in Ballantrae for lunch (hwy 48 and Aurora Road). The long and medium rides stops at the excellent Annina's bakery in the small community of Goodwood. A washroom stop should be possible at the gas station on the SW corner of Elgin Mills and Leslie (around km 17.5), as well as at the lunch stops.

The beginning portions of the three rides are the same. The longer ride is essentially a "loop" off the shorter ride. This means riders can choose during the ride to do a long or short distance, if they wish. 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. The 93km ride to Goodwood diverges from the short and long routes just past 23km (short and long go north on Warden, the medium route continues east on 19th Avenue). The short route diverges from the long route at 32km (short turns right on Vandorf Sideroad, the long continues north on Warden).

The short and long routes take all streets back to Finch. The medium route takes paved multi-use trails back to Finch (the last 8 km of the ride). These paved trails start south from John street just west of Leslie.

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.

SAFETY MARSHALS : For this year 2026, We will have a mandatory orientation by zoom or google meet to be held every two weeks just to make sure you are aware of responsibilities and procedures in the event that we need to report incidents to central control.

There is an early promotion to sign up for new club jerseys at reduced cost of $10 off of $ 85 including tax. TBN wants to get an early order by Feb 15, 2026 go to www.tbn.ca/store

Post-ride snacks & beverages

After the ride, all TBN volunteers are invited to the lunch buffet in the volunteer rest area only, volunteer tent will be right in the front of Aga Khan Museum near the Check In tent. This area will be clearly marked as the volunteer check-in location.

Safety Marshals are a “mobile safe riding team effort” for Baycrest. You will be given a T-shirt to wear over your cycling clothing. Safety Marshals work in teams of two and basically look for cyclists who are riding unsafely. When Marshals see this happening they should ride up alongside the cyclist and politely ask them to stop riding in an unsafe manner (most do not realize they are doing it) and ask the person to stop any unsafe activity which could be riding too fast, swerving ahead or behind other riders or texting.

Once a Safety marshal has made the first warning it is best to fall back a bit and observe that the individual is cooperating and if not, the individual must be told that if this type of behavior continues the next call will be to Toronto Police Services who will then pull the person off the course or wait at the finish line. This rarely is required but it can be a very effective tool.

If the warnings are not observed, marshals are asked to call Central Control and provide a clear detailed description of the individual as best they can. Central Control will take it from there.

MARSHALS KINDLY READ THE FOLLOWING:

Rules of the Road

For Your Safety we have developed the following safety rules and recommendations. Please read them carefully before event day. City of Toronto Police and Toronto Bicycling Network Ride Marshals will monitor the roads to ensure they are obeyed.

1) Wearing a bike helmet while riding your bike can reduce the risk of head injury by 85%. Helmets are mandatory for all participants.

2) Be aware of other cyclists, road obstacles and lane markings. Slower cyclists and children must stay to the right of the road. Do not attempt to pass the pace vehicles at any time during the event.

3) Communicate your intentions to other cyclists by telling people you are planning to pass using phrases like “on your left”, “on your right” or “coming through the middle”

4) Cyclists who are deemed by event organizers and Toronto Police to be riding in an unsafe manner will be intercepted and removed from the ride route immediately. This includes weaving in and out of other cyclists, passing other cyclists at high speeds and riding in the midst of other cyclists in a group at high speeds. Please use common sense and ride your bike responsibly and safely.

5) Watch carefully for your 75km route direction signs on the Bayview ramp, and on the Gardiner Expressway on the return ride, to ensure that you ride the full 75km route.

6) Use extreme caution on the downhill portions of the DVP & Gardiner Expressway. Stopping anywhere other than Rest Stations is allowed for EMERGENCY SITUATIONS only. If you have to stop for safety reasons, let the people around you know you are planning to stop and go to the far right of the road.

7) Be courteous to your fellow participants and remember, by participating in the event and raising funds you are assisting in the defeat of dementia. The Baycrest Foundation thanks you!

8) At all times OBEY the official Toronto Bicycling Network Ride Marshals and Ambassadors of the Road. They are there for YOUR safety and to ensure the safety of fellow participants.

Thank-you and have a safe and fun ride!

Leisure Wheeler on a Saturday- Aldershot, Hamilton Harbour, Burlington (06 Jun 2026)

Sat, 06 Jun 2026 12:40:00 GMT

A special Leisure Wheeler Ride on a Saturday.

Aldershot, Hamilton Harbour, Burlington

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 5:00 pm, Thursday June 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 10:05 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: 9:05 AM It arrives at Aldershot at 10:03 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.

For this favourite TBN ride we will be heading up to the Unionville area to try the upper Rouge River trail, then return on a long, almost uninterrupted, run down Pharmacy Avenue. Given the 62 km length and longer stretches, not recommended for a first ride of the season. Parts of the Rouge trail are hard packed limestone screenings rather than pavement but should be managable for most bikes. This section is about 8 kms in length.

Lunch is at Tim Hortons near the halfway point . 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 Shoppers World, located on the SW corner of Victoria Park Avenue and Danforth Avenue.

A two-day 80k/day ride at an Urban Roller pace of about 20-22 kph on a flat route. Road bikes (or similar) are recommended. Mountain bikes are not recommended.

Accommodation

Accommodation will be at the Niagara College Residence (137 Taylor Rd, Niagara-on-the-Lake). For $80.20 you’ll have your own bedroom in a shared two-bedroom suite, complete with a shared full bathroom and shared kitchenette, including a refrigerator. One bedroom has a double bed, desk with chair and satellite TV. The second bedroom has two single loft (over desk) bunk style beds.
Note that given the shared bathroom and common area, attendees will be invited to select the other TBN member with whom they would like to share the suite.
Note that you must book your own accommodation at the college. The reason is that, as opposed to group bookings, all individually booked reservations can be cancelled and/or modified up until 24 hours prior to the arrival date. Instructions on how to book your accommodation will be provided after registration by the trip leader.

We ride from Burlington GO to Niagara-on-the-Lake on Saturday with an optional stop at a brewery on the way. On Sunday, we ride back to Burlington stopping at a two to three wineries on the way. Consumption of beer/wine is optional. For those wishing to sample limited amounts, you can do the following:

Skip sampling at some wineries.
Share a flight (four one-ounce servings) with another participant (two each).
Request an extra wine glass and split all four one-ounce servings with another participant.

The official start will be at 10:00 am on Saturday, July 26 from Burlington GO Station parking lot, where you can park your car for free over the weekend. We will cycle at an Urban Roller pace of 20-22 kph mostly on the Waterfront Trail all the way to Port Dalhousie and then down the Welland Canal trail to Niagara College Residence (137 Taylor Rd, Niagara-on-the-Lake).

Cycling clothes for two days
A small medium security lock
A spare inner tube
A couple of water bottles
A rain jacket (if showers are in the forecast)
Bike lights for the 3K ride from the Sunday dinner stop to Burlington GO.

For almost all of the winery stops on Sunday, our bikes will be close to us and within view but not always. That’s why a small medium security lock is advised. Two people can lock their bikes together with one lock. If necessary, the non-drinkers at those stops can take shifts watching the bikes.

We aim to maintain brisk Urban Roller pace at a speed of around 20 - 22 kph. At that speed, it should take around 6.5 hours to get to Niagara College residence around 4:30 pm. Check-in starts at 3 pm. We have 7 pm reservations for the patio at the Play Bar and Grill in the White Oaks Resort (across the road from the Residence).

On Sunday, we can have breakfast at MacDonald’s, Starbucks or at a few other fast food type places within a 5-minute ride or 10-minute walk. We need to be riding about 10:00am. We will stop at two-three wineries. After about 7 hours we should arrive at 5:35pm at the NISI Greek Taverna in Burlington for dinner, and later a short ride to the Burlington GO.

This ride for experienced riders will be run at speeds from around 20 to 26 km/hr (although faster riders are welcome as well!). For additional details on Sunday Tourist rides, please click here.

Click the Register button on this page to register for the ride.

DESCRIPTION

Two route lengths (77 km and 95 km) are available. Both rides stop at Grackles Coffee in Schomberg for lunch.

The shorter ride goes north on Weston road to Schomberg and then Jane street return. The longer ride goes north on Keele Street, through the Holland Marsh, and then enters Schomberg from the north. On the return, the longer ride goes south on Weston road, which includes the challenging Weston Wall (aka Strawberry hill).

The beginning and end portions of the two rides are the same and also a short section after lunch. The two rides diverge at about the 12km mark, with the longer ride continuing north on Keele and the shorter ride turning left on Kirby road. This means riders can choose during the ride to do a long or short distance, if they wish. 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.

Meet at the Vaughan subway station, east side of the oval, south station exit, depicted below. There is parking available in a parking lot immediately to the east of the oval subway station, at a cost of $7 for the day on Sundays.

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.

The two longer routes have a scenic and hilly loop through Glen Huron; and the 82 and 103k include Base Borden. All rides have lunch in Creemore to enjoy the Copper Kettle Festival.

Location: Tosorontio Central Public School - 7016 County Rd 13, Everett, ON L0M 1J0.

This is a ride to watch the salmon run on the Ganaraska River.

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.
