Sunday Urban Roller - Tour of Toronto (Revised - see note!)

Sunday Urban Roller - Tour of Toronto

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. 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.

NOTE:  The route has been revised (15 May 2023) to shorten it a bit as a pre-ride took four and a half hours without stops or lunch. The revision also skips parts of the Don Valley Trail which are in poor condition and/or under construction. The RwGPS map has been updated to reflect this change.

A popular ride that uses quieter streets and trails. The route was revised last year  to avoid the steep hill up to Casa Loma and to take advantage of some of the recent cycling infrastructure such as the new bike lanes on lower Bayview and Richmond. We'll visit neighbourhoods like Wychwood Park, Forest Hill, and Rosedale, and see newer projects like the new mouth of the Don River.

Meet for a 10 am departure from the Grenadier Cafe in the centre of High Park. The park is currently closed to cars on the weekend so if you are arriving by car you may 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.
