| Toronto to Ajax again | xxvii | Nov 16th 2011, 02:26 | 46.9km | ||
| Pretty boring route. I nearly got turned around exploring a park shortcut, so after that decided to stick to known roads/trails (as I needed to get to the destination on time). | |||||
| to route 66 with jonah | xxvii | Sep 16th 2010, 03:43 | 37.3km | ||
| Avoiding Davenport, Enjoying Hills and Trees | xxvii | Jun 22nd 2010, 07:46 | 6.2km |
|
|
| When I'm not in a hurry, this is the route I usually take home from work. Some variations are noted along the way. | |||||
| Straight down shaw to the waterfront | xxvii | Jun 22nd 2010, 07:21 | 4.5km | ||
| Shaw St. is one way, going south. It's absurdly easy to get from our place to the waterfront this way. It's also virtually all downhill. Getting back is more tricky. | |||||
| Toronto to Ajax: queen - waterfront - kingston - church | xxvii | Jun 22nd 2010, 07:24 | 58.3km |
|
|
| Riding from my sister's place to my mom's in the dead of night. I tried to avoid riding on Kingston Rd, south of the 401, and find nicer ways in its general direction, though that was not easy in the dark. When I got to Port Union road I purposefully went out of my way north of the 401 and along Kingston Rd through Pickering just to see what it was like. Normally there is heavy traffic, but after midnight it's pretty clear of cars. Despite the darkness, I came across some interesting places. I shall have to investigate more in the light if I get a chance. | |||||
| Some extra hills along davenport | xxvii | Jun 22nd 2010, 07:19 | 7.4km |
|
|
| I live twice as close to my place of work now. I miss the much longer uphill grind I used to have. Davenport is a road that generally runs along the base of a fairly steep (though not very high) hill. So Here's one route home that adds hills. | |||||
| Ajax - Toronto (Eglinton/Marlee) - lots of parks and odd turns | xxvii | Mar 24th 2009, 03:09 | 59.1km |
|
|
| Riding from Ajax, I was trying to find a route that took me through the most parks as possible, even if it added extra distance. Also I was looking for the best way to get through the don valley area without resorting to the major roads with their busy bridges. It's easy to lose one's way in many of the windy parks, with many trails. Trip took me about 4.5 hours, riding not very strenuously, and getting lost and doubling back several times. | |||||
| Beltline trail to the Brickworks via Moore Park Ravine | xxvii | Jun 22nd 2010, 07:16 | 7km |
|
|
| mid-toronto to Ajax via st clair east and rouge valley waterfront | xxvii | Sep 29th 2008, 11:03 | 50.8km | ||
| This was a spontaneous ride, not planned, so it's a bit chaotic. I'd dropped my keys somewhere on my way home and rode back to find them. Then I kept riding after finding them. It's similar to my other trips to Ajax once i get to Rouge Hill station. | |||||
| Eglinton & Marlee to Toronto Island, and back via Sherborne | xxvii | Sep 29th 2008, 11:08 | 38.6km |
|
|
| Unfortunately I have no time to annotate this one yet. Our path is a little crazy in places, but (sometimes) there were reasons. But for the most part the route turned out pretty good. There were only a few blocks we walked the sidewalks. | |||||
| norfolk country - delhi | xxvii | Sep 29th 2008, 03:49 | 48.9km |
|
|
| Norfolk country, for the second year, held its "tour de norfolk" bike ride. There were many routes from 15 to 160 km. We took the kids and gramma on the 40 km (but a wrong turn made it 50 km for us). This is truly beautiful cycling country. The roads we were on were in fantastic condition, the farmland was interesting and varied, and the traffic was light. It's worth the trip. | |||||
| work to darcy work | xxvii | Sep 29th 2008, 11:05 | 17.7km |
|
|
| This route is not very good, but i needed to get up to Victoria Park and Sheppard so this is how I ended up doing it. | |||||
| Port Severn - Baxter Community Centre water run | xxvii | Jul 8th 2008, 01:58 | 3.9km |
|
|
| This is the short ride to the community centre, one of the closest points with a public tap for drinking water when at our family cottage. | |||||
| port severn - severn falls - big chute | xxvii | Jul 20th 2008, 07:15 | 57.7km |
|
|
| An extremely scenic loop from my family's cottage in Port Severn to my friend's cottage near Severn Falls. | |||||
| midland - waubaushene - port severn | xxvii | Jul 22nd 2008, 02:17 | 40.7km |
|
|
| A nice ride that turned out to be somewhat longer than expected due to a wrong turn. | |||||
| eglinton - oconner - pottery - rosedale valley | xxvii | Sep 29th 2008, 11:06 | 13.4km | ||
| Decided to try an alternate way of getting across the Don Valley. The pottery road hill was pretty scary. I wouldn't recommend it. Make sure your breaks are good if you do. | |||||
| bathurst - gendon - lawrence - rouge valley - pickering -ajax | xxvii | Jul 22nd 2008, 04:19 | 50.7km |
|
|
| Me in the middle of Toronto, wife and kids in Ajax. What to do? Ride! Mostly across Lawrence (high traffic), but at Rouge Hill it gets more interesting (lower traffic, off road). | |||||
| ajax-pickering west waterfront with the family | xxvii | Jun 29th 2008, 01:30 | 9.9km |
|
|
| An afternoon bike ride with my mom and the kids. Nearly all on paved multi-use paths. Note around the beginning of the path the web of paths between houses that permiate this area of Ajax. On the way back we went further along the lake shore, and then up (but i didn't want to have to map the path all the way back just to get to the divergent point). | |||||
| Port Severn to Orillia | xxvii | Jun 24th 2008, 12:03 | 34.2km |
|
|
| A nice, peaceful ride. A lot of it is on the Uhthoff rail trail. The trail trail is mostly dirt tracks, but clear and smooth enough for my hybrid pulling a child trailer. (The google map resolution is not good for this area, so some guesses have been made.) | |||||
| don valley trail, ashbridges bay park | xxvii | Jun 23rd 2008, 10:26 | 37.1km |
|
|
| An excursion, pulling the kids in the trailer. Besides the horrific downtown part (we walked mostly on the sidewalks) there was amazingly little of the route on roads (from Queen's Quay onwards). | |||||
| Marlee/Roselawn to Bathurst/Finch | xxvii | Jun 23rd 2008, 10:25 | 22.2km |
|
|
| Selena and I, out for a casual ride pulling the two kids in the chariot. (2008-Jun-14) The northward route was inspired by a map by Pedalphile. | |||||
| Roselawn/Allen to Davenport/Avenue | xxvii | Jun 23rd 2008, 04:51 | 12.6km |
|
|
| This is my commute to and from work most days. It is a fast, green, mostly pleasant route that mostly avoids major intersections. It is mostly downhill going south, with some nice up-hills going north. I actually like the up-hills after work. The exertion perhaps relieves stress. | |||||
