Wed, Mar 25 2009 - Midweek: St. Clair, Ravines, Belt Line (View Original Event Details)
|  |
What a day for a spring hike, the light rain was with us from the beginning to the end, but it did not discourage the eight brave TOC hikes!!! We started at 6:20pm from St. Clair, explored some of the beautiful houses around Summerhill, Pete found us in the Glen Edyth Wetland, he had started the path from Eglinton West. Part of the path was covered with ice, but we handle to get our way to Eglinton West. Victor decided to keep Margaret pace, she was only walking but for the rest of us, it would require a light jogging; well it was a good workout and getting some calories burn is worth the effort. Victor was trying to model his new pairs of boots to his foot, so there was some pain involved!!!
After the Belt Line we hit Mount Pleasant, where we lost Carol and Nicolas, they decide to Rest, but at home nothing to do with the cemetery. We entered the final loop, the ravines were completely dark, and we got a lot of ice (incredible, the winter is still fighting down there). They discovered that Victor has a special mathematics formula about distance percentage that takes into consideration the height
We ended by 9:40pm, what a pace Margaret!!! 16.6km / 3.33 hours = 4.98 K!!!! This is a proof that we can make a D4 hike inside the city
