Another Darlington Mini-Tour

Wed, 2006-09-27 15:06 — vic

Vic on the Streetmachine near Rouge RiverRepeating a short weekend bike tour I did in June, Jen and I took off east of Toronto for the weekend. With our bikes loaded with camping gear, we hopped a Friday evening GO Train to Oshawa and then rode to Darlington Provincial Park.

We camped at the park Friday and Saturday night. On Saturday we did a day trip to Port Hope, about 50km away, and then rode back to Toronto on Sunday. I had a great time doing this little tour again, and Jen seemed to enjoy it too!

We were thinking that next summer, preferably in June when we have the most daylight, it would be fun to get a whole bunch of cyclists to do this trip together. The Saturday ride loop can be shortened or lengthened to accomodate different riding preferences, and when riding back to Toronto on Sunday people can bail out at the Pickering GO station, or a TTC station once we get back to the city. I will probably start planning this next spring!

Plenty of photos and ramblings about this trip can be found, starting here.

Thanks Steeker! Yeah, it's a great place to ride. I was reminiscing about it while taking the Greyhound along the 401 over the holidays. We'll definitely get a cyclist weekend happening out there in June or thereabouts...I'll keep you informed!

Cheers,
Vic
