Itinerary:
We'll meet at Dundas West subway station (come upstairs, and meet near the McDonald's), then we'll walk about 5 minutes to one section of the West Toronto Railpath. We'll put on our skates, and get going on the paved pathway!

The multi-use pathway is one of Toronto's newest -- it is less than one year old -- and it is a very flat, very smooth trail. We'll plan to follow the pathway north to where it ends; we'll turn around, and skate back south along the same trail, to the other end.

In all, this new multi-use pathway is only a few kilometres long, so we may go back and forth a few times for the evening to really get our exercise in. After we're done, we'll walk back to Dundas West subway station.

This is an evening skate for all levels! If we find that members of the group are moving at very different paces, we'll split the group, and meet up again when done.

Note that this is likely the last in-line skating event that that the Event Coordinator plans to organize for the season. If you cannot come on Wednesday, then we'll see you for more inline skating next year!

Notes:
1. Rentals will not be arranged for this trip. Please bring your own inline skates, or make sure that you can borrow someone else's in order to participate.
2. It's likely that there will be some falls on this trip. Helmets are highly recommended for this event. Knee pads, elbow pads, and wristguards are also recommended unless you're an expert skater.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This trip is weather dependent! The trip will be cancelled if it is raining, as the paths will be wet and slippery, which is neither safe nor ideal for our inline skate event. If you sign up for this event, please do check your e-mail on Wednesday morning for final confirmation of the trip.
