Sunday Urban Roller - Mimico Creek
Please note: You must register to participate on the ride. Registration is free for TBN members. Non-members are welcome with the online payment of a $10 fee. If you cannot attend, please cancel your reservation by Saturday. Attendance will be checked at the start.
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.
UPDATE 12 April: The pre-ride of the route has shown that the trail north of Etienne Brule Park is now open, and in suprisingly good shape after the ice jam. The route has been revised to take advantage of this and eliminates the climb up into the Kingsway. The RwGPS map and cue sheet have been changed to reflect this. Also, the washrooms at James Gardens are open.
A slightly longer ride for our second outing. This one will take us up 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 to the Humber River. Then back up the Humber to the start.
Meet at Kings Mill Park for a 10 am start.
The parking lot at Brule is still closed so we will be starting from the parking lot of Kings Mill Park, just back across the bridge over the Humber and on the south side. There aren't as many parking spaces as at Brule, so you may want to consider parking on one of the nearby residential streets, or in the Old Mill pay parking lot ($2/hr.)
The Ride with GPS map for the route is linked below, as well as a simplified cue sheet. The RwGPS auto-generated cuesheet has not been checked, but the linked cue sheet has been optimised for Sunday Urban Rollers.
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.
See you Sunday
