If you have not ridden with me before, you A.B.S.O.L.U.T.E.L.Y MUST answer in the affirmative the questions below.

This ride travels mostly on separated bike trails. However, some sections will be on roadways with vehicular traffic.

Please only sign up for this ride if you are experienced, comfortable, and safe riding in traffic.

Our ride will start at Finch Subway Station. We will:
* Ride west along the Finch Hydro Corridor bike path to Black Creek Trail just south of York University
* Continue south on the Black Creek Trail. There is a muddy section as we leave the Valley, which may decide to avoid
* Continue on city streets riding west and south the Humber Valley Trail just north of Lawerence Ave
* Head south on the Humber Valley and ride south to Old Mill Station.
Those who want can leave the ride here and get on the subway, having completed about 30 Km
* The rest of us will continue south on the Humber Valley to the Lakeshore
* Ride east on the Waterfront Trail to Bay St, Union Station and the subway

Please bring your lunch, snacks, and liquids with you. We will probably have our lunch break about half way through our ride, at a point on the Humber River trail.
