DESCRIPTION
Three route lengths (59 km, 85 km and 101 km) are available, all of which bring us through the historic Village of Unionville. Optional lunch stops include Jake's on Main for pub fare or continue to Enterprise Avenue, stopping at Aroma cafe on the south side just before Birchmount Road. 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 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 to do a longer or shorter 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 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.
We are accepting "guest rider" registrations for this event. Guest registrations are $10 payable via PayPal.
