Itinerary:

I'm prepared to admit that the spring of 2013 is trying my patience! It is the middle of April, and I woke up to a fresh layer of snow just two days ago! But doesn't the cold make you want something warm, like pizza? And doesn't the imminent spring make you crave something summery, like gelato? Wouldn't it be neat to get both in one place? ... And wouldn't it be super awesome to get both in a cone?

Our hike will allow you to enjoy both -- guilt-free! We'll hike a good 12 km, mostly in the ravines, at a good pace. MOST of the trails are paved, but there is a section that is not and it might be muddy, be warned!

Start location: Victoria Park Subway station (free parking on weekends)
End location: Gelato store on Bayview, just south of Eglinton.
Hike distance: 12 km, plus if you walk back to the subway, another 2km (or walk up to Eglinton and get a bus, or walk back to Vic Park Stn with me (providing I'm up for it!))
Average target speed: 5 km / hour
