Wed. 16th August
56 miles to Toronto
Cycling along the Waterfront trail which comes and goes! Reached Burlington, where I knew I could get a map of trail. Something which for some obscure and unknown reason is only available at the equivalent of 'go outdoors' on the outskirts. Not even Reuben and Heidi last nights cyclists had one or knew where to come by one. What a difference it made! could see which path I was meant to take. Plus was able to point others in the right direction!
As I got nearer to Toronto the level of traffic on the trails increases. Skateboarders, rollerskaters, mothers jogging pushing double buggy prams., racing cyclists, people just stopped on bend, traffic lights. Probably more stressful to cycle than a main road.
However this off road route takes you right into the heart of Toronto. Staying in the university halls of residence. Which opens its doors to act as a hostel in the summer. Have my own student room in a 5 person flat (flat has kitchen), costs less than the HI hostel. On the 16th floor amazing views of skyscrapers lit up at night.
My bike is in the kitchen. Am not allowed to put it in my room.
Have a long list of chores for today. Including buying a special kind of screwdriver for Keith, from the equivalent of BandQ, which will probably involve a trek to a ringroad shopping centre!
