Itinerary:

This is the big one folks, Hike For A Slice Part VIII. December 15th happens to be the 367 day anniversary of my first TOC event, which is almost a significant number. This is obviously very exciting, so let's grab a celebratory slice .. after a hike of course.

We will start at Eglinton West Station and follow this route:
• Head south through Cedarvale Park.
• South on Spadina Rd and down the 100+ stairs at Casa Loma (woo-hoo!).
• West through some neighbourhood streets in Seaton Village.
• Northwest to Davenport neighbourhood.
• West through a series of connected (kind of) Parkettes and north through Earlscourt Park.
• East to St Clair & Dufferin.
• Head to a nearby pizza place for a slice (if you wish).

Route Rundown:
Distance: 10km
Pace: Between 4.5 - 5.0 km/h
Expected Time: 2 - 2.5 hours + pizza time
Trails: Mostly paved trails and sidewalks with a few dirt/gravel sections
Terrain: Fairly flat with some rolling sections and three sets of stairs.

Following the hike I will take anyone so inclined to a local pizza joint for a slice, but this part of the event is optional. This pizzeria features good sized slices of a bit heavier pizza with a thicker chewy crust. It's a bit different than most pizza places these days, but still good. There are four different types of slices, including vegetarian options. It is actually a full blown Italian restaurant, so while I will obviously suggest trying the pizza, there are other Italian options available to choose from (pasta, salads, etc.).

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

Eglinton West Subway Station is located on the University-Spadina Subway (also known as Line 1) at the corner of Allen Rd and Eglinton Ave W.
We will meet inside the doors to the main entrance. Look for me with a black backpack and a Blue Jays cap OR dark blue Polar Rush toque.

Notes:

Please plan to arrive before the posted start time, we will be leaving immediately at 6:30pm. I will turn my phone off once we begin, so any calls or messages will likely not be returned until the end of the hike.

The hike will go forward rain or shine or snow. A high risk of a thunderstorm (80%+) 24 hours prior may result in postponement or cancellation.
