It's time for my seemingly annual Hike For
Gelato event. This time we will be heading to
my favourite gelato place in the city. To get
there, we will meet at Jane Station and
follow this route: - Along some side streets to the Humber River - North along the Humber River Trail - Head over to the hydro corridor in Marie Baldwin Park - East along the hydro corridor - East along some side streets - End near the intersection of St. Clair Ave W & Lansdowne Ave PLEASE NOTE: This hike will NOT end near a subway station. You will need to take the 512 St Clair streetcar or the Lansdowne bus to get back on the subway. After the hike, I will be heading to a nearby gelato place, but this part of the event is optional. There are dozens of flavours to choose from. Being a holiday, I expect there will be a lineup. As long as the weather co- operates there is a nice park next door where we can go to enjoy some more time outdoors with delicious gelato. Route Rundown: Total distance: 9.5km Pace: 4.5 - 5 km/h, fairly leisurely Expected time: 2 - 2.5 hours + gelato time Terrain: There are a few ups and downs and one fairly large hill Trails: A mix of sidewalks, paved trails and gravel trails We will stop for a washroom break about an hour or so into the hike. There is a public washroom at the park next to the gelato place as well. Please plan to arrive before the posted start time, we will be leaving immediately at 1:30pm. 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. This 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. | |||||||

How to Get There: | |||||||
Event Directions: | We will meet at Jane Subway Station which is on
the Bloor-Danforth Subway (also known as
Line 2) located on Jane St just north of Bloor
St W. Look for me with a blue ball cap and
black backpack. | ||||||
