Sunday Urban Roller - 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 $10 here and then can register for the ride. If you cannot attend, please cancel your reservation by Saturday evening. 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.
NOTE: The start point has changed due to the permanent closure of the TTC Victoria Park parking lot for condo construction.The route has been revised as the detour at Lawrence East is no longer necessary due to the completion of work at the bottom of the Highland Creek trail.
For this relatively new version of a favourite TBN ride we will be starting from the Victoria Park subway, eliminating the big hill from the Beaches up to Kingston Road. We will be using a bit of the SMR route to Guildwood but departing from it to explore some trails not currently on any other TBN rides.
The return route from Guildwood departs from the norm and stays north of Kingston Road for a change.
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 Shoppers World, located on the southwest corner of Victoria Park Avenue and 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.
