CANCELLED Leaders Choice: Waterfront Trail & Jim Tovey Park Fall Social/Mixer (24 Oct 2026)

Sat, 24 Oct 2026 14:00:00 GMT

This event has been cancelled. Both of the refreshment venues have gone out of business since this summer when the event was planned.

Join us for a leisurely Saturday morning ride along the Waterfront Trail as we set off from Stonehooker Brewery in Port Credit in Mississauga to Sunnyside Park Café for coffee, then make our way back to Stonehooker Brewery via Mississauga’s newest conservation area – ‘Jim Tovey Park’.

This is a new 26 hectare waterfront park at the shore of Lake Ontario. Here we will discover the beauty of nature at this restored stretch of the shoreline with revitalized habitats and a network of trails, pedestrian bridges and a cycling trail beside the future site of Lakeview Village. Jim Tovey park is a great spot for cycling, walking, bird-watching, dog walking and amateur photography along 3.7 km of trail with a breath-taking view of Toronto. The route can get busy with pedestrians so this will not be a “fast ride” and will be slow in some places for everyone’s safety – the emphasis for this ride is relaxation, fun, safety and the social.

Start location: Parking Lot behind Stonehooker Brewing Company, 866 Lakeshore Rd E, Mississauga.

Ride leader: Sanj Devarajan

Route: StoneHooker to SunnySide Cafe and back via Jim Tovey Conservation Area

The Plan:
Washrooms: At Birds & Beans Café (1^st “pit stop”), Sunnyside Pavilion Café (2^nd “pit stop”), Jim Tovey Park (3^rd “pit stop”), Stonehooker Brewey (Final/4^th “pit stop”)

Distance: 31 km

Pace: ~20 km/h (no drop)

Après Ride: Lunch at Stonehooker Brewey (optional)

Only registrants are permitted to join the ride. (If you do not have a regular TBN membership, you can purchase a 30-Day-Trial membership - click here). If have registered and then find out you can't come, please cancel your registration.

Check the website before you head to the start in case the event is cancelled or rescheduled at the organizer's discretion.

PLEASE NOTE: All riders, including "30-Day-Trial" members, must register to participate in this CC. Please read registration details on the CC webpage.

"Wild Card Sunday" gives us an opportunity to hold a Country Cruise that was previously scheduled during the season but unfortunately had to be cancelled, often due to less-than-favourable weather conditions for cycling. The ride selected may be determined by the ride leader as well.

This WC Sunday's chosen CC is "To Trail - or Not?! - to Tottenham", which was originally scheduled for May 24th, but was "washed out" by the rainy weather.

This is a great, multi-terrain ride to a long-standing lunch destination - Tottenham - and has 4 route options. Starting and ending in Schomberg, the roundtrip is a lovely mixture of rolling hills and scenic flat stretches on the Caledon Rail Trail (or not! - if you would rather enjoy the undulating country roads). Bring your lunch to eat in a park in Tottenham (toilets available) or pick up something from the corner store on the main street (or Tim's!)

Distances: With Rail Trail: 68km, 73km & 80km

Without Rail Trail: 77km

Start: 10:00am Please note the new start location is at the Trisan Centre, 25 Dillane Dr., Schomberg.

Driving directions: Take exit 55 off Highway 400 and head west on County Road 9 to County Road 27. Turn south on County County Rd. 27 and then turn left (east) at Dillane Dr. Continue on Dillane Drive to Trisan Centre, which will be on the east side of the road.

Sunday Urban Roller - High Park to Weston - Last ride of the season! (01 Nov 2026)

Sun, 01 Nov 2026 15:00:00 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.

For the last ride of the season this is a new (2026) ride that was originally scheduled for April but the weather refused to cooperate. It is almost entirely on roads, many with bike lanes. For now. It's also a bit shorter than usual, with the colder weather being a consideration. 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.

Today, Patsy will lead us on a 6 Km loop from Broadview Station to the Don Jail and back. Meet at about 10 AM in front of Broadview station. The walk will begin at 10:10 AM sharp.

The route goes south from Broadview subway station. First stop is at the Withrow Ave burial site for an update on what has happened in the past few months. Then we will visit the Don Jail for a free (donations accepted) self-guided tour (30 min) and a washroom stop. At the Don Jail there are elevators to access the various floors, so it is not necessary to climb stairs.

The group will then walk down to the lower Don trail in Riverdale Park. We will walk north on the trail to Pottery Road and east up the hill to Broadview, then return to start by walking south on Broadview to Danforth Avenue. At the end, there are several lunch options nearby, including the Broadview Diner.

There are no washrooms at the start/finish, but there is a public washroom in the Bloor Station, which may be convenient for some who are using the subway. Also, there is a washroom at Withrow Park, about 1.2 Km from the start/finish.

Fall Hiking Glen Major Forest/Brock Tract 13 km 9 AM START (08 Nov 2026)

Sun, 08 Nov 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Glen Major Forest/Brock Tract Loop

The Glen Major Forest is more than 3700 acres of land located on the Oak Ridges Moraine in the headwaters of the Duffins Creek Watershed. This area consists of mixed coniferous/ deciduous forests and a gravel pit once operated in the Glen Major site and is currently being restored. The remainder of the property complex was previously used for agriculture and contains a variety of habitat including forest, meadows and wetlands. Old farm roads and farm building foundations are still visible. This hike has lots of elevation changes and I think that most hikers will find the forest quite beautiful but strenuous. It is a hike worth doing.

Distance: 13 km

Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/38184572

Pace: Moderate (~3.5 km/hr)

Terrain: Moderate - rocky with hills and/or poor footing.

Directions: https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Brock+Tract/@44.0027418,-79.128982,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x89d525dd7de51f9d:0xa55b051d89412d81!8m2!3d43.9998587!4d-79.1280305

This is a smaller free parking lot that may be difficult to see from Brock Road. It looks like a farmers lane so be on the lookout for it. We are using this because the lot we usually use now has pay parking.

Parking is at a premium so please do not be late and find yourself scrambling for a parking spot.

NOTE: 9 AM START TIME.

Fall Hiking Smokey Hollow Falls - 12 km (15 Nov 2026)

Sun, 15 Nov 2026 15:00:00 GMT

Smokey Hollow Falls is the majestic center point of a group of trails with plenty of variety and changes of elevation. It is not too difficult and is just the hike for early in the TBN Fall Hiking season. Sadly a lot of the leaves have already fallen from the trees but it is still beautiful and of course we have the Falls. It may be busy at the Falls especially if it is a nice day but we will be spending most of our time on the Bruce Trail so the crowds should not be too bad.

Fall Hiking Forks of the Credit 12 km (22 Nov 2026)

Sun, 22 Nov 2026 15:00:00 GMT

FALL/WINTER HIKING

The Forks of the Credit is a part of the Bruce Trail and also the Niagara Escarpment Biosphere. The hike starts at the junction of Mississauga Road and the Elora Cataract Rail Trail. There had been a mill in the Cataract area since 1820 and in 1885 John Deagle bought the mill and converted it into a hydro generating station which was later purchased by Ontario Hydro and eventually shut down in 1947. The area was also the source of Credit Valley sandstone which was used in the construction of various large buildings like Queen's Park and the Old City Hall. This area is predominantly used by hikers and mountain bikers and there are lots of elevation changes and intersecting trails. It can be a challenging area in the winter so icers are required and hiking poles are recommended

Distance: 12 km

Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/38153913

Pace: Moderate (~3.5 km/hr)

Terrain: Moderate - rocky with hills and/or poor footing. Depending on the weather poles or icers will be needed.

Directions: https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Mississauga+Rd+%2526+Elora-Cataract+Trailway,+Caledon,+ON+L7K+1M9/@43.819616,-80.0406903,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x882b061fcbcc47ed:0xa013b1ea841ca63d!8m2!3d43.8131338!4d-80.0286332
