Itinerary:
Ride to the city's edge from Downsview station to Humber Arboretum

This is a medium ride for those interested in exploring North-Western edge of the city (new Finch Hydro trail, upper Humber trail and connections). You must be comfortable riding in traffic as part of the route is on busy roads. You can find the map at the link below. Ride distance is around 50 km so it should take about 3 hours to get back to Downsview stn. If we get hungry, we can stop for lunch at Downsview park (bring your own lunch or snacks or shop at the Merchants' Market).
Ride goes on rain or shine! Please dress appropriately as it may warm up later in the day. If arriving by car, please have your bike ready by the departure time.
