Itinerary:

So, the random hike picker has selected this urban hike for today.
Which is nice, because there's a brand new ravine I want to try for the first time today.
If it works great, if not then I'll learn for the future.

This 14 KM hike will both start and finish at Kennedy Subway Station.

The hike will be on a combination of neighbourhood sidewalks, grassy fields, single track dirt trails and multi use paved trails.

In terms of hills, there are a few climbs, but none over 25 metres.

I'll attempt to stop for a washroom break at the washroom located in Eglinton Go Station, located about 5.5 KM into the hike.

PLEASE NOTE THAT LINE 1 IS CLOSED BETWEEN YORK MILLS AND BLOOR-YONGE STATION THIS WEEKEND
PLEASE NOTE THAT LINE 2 IS CLOSED BETWEEN ST GEORGE & BROADVIEW UNTIL NOON TODAY

I usually carry a pair of icers with me from the first snowfall of the year until the end of April, so I recommend having a pair in your pack to deal with any potential ice.
You can find the pair I use, 'here from Amazon'.
