EVENT DETAILS

So, you might be asking "Why Fletcher is this Toronto Most Frustrating Trail?"
Well, Motown is a rhythm mountain biking trail in the Don Valley and its really fun to bike on, but kinda weird, a little funky and somewhat frustrating with all of its swerves and curves.

Today's hike will both start & finish at Victoria Park Station and the route will be about 15 KM>

The route will be on a combination of single track dirt trails and paved paths.

In terms of hills, there are a lot of tiny ones under 25 meters. '
In terms of hills that will make you suffer, there's probably only 2 of about 25 meters.

As, there isn't a washroom close to Victoria Park Station, I'll stop at the one in Taylor Creek park, located about 1 km into the hike. So maybe, 15 minutes in or so.

We'll aim for a pace of 4-5 km/h.

As today's hike is a little longer than normal, we'll stop for an extended snack break about 10.5 km into the hike.

    Event Directions:

    Victoria Park Station is located on the Danforth Subway Line, 2 stops west of Kennedy & 11 stops east of Yonge Station.

    We'll just meet outside the Victoria Park Avenue entrance to the subway, which is beside the signal for the bus loop. If it is raining or cold, I'll just be in the station doors.

    For those of you driving, Victoria Park Station is located just north of Danforth Avenue. Address is 777 Victoria Park Avenue. In terms of parking, there is a commuter lot located just south of the station entrance.
