Ride the Toronto Loop

After a half century(!) it’s time to close The Toronto Loop.

TORONTO COMMUNITY BIKEWAYS COALITION is producing and leading this epic spring ride. Volunteer marshalls will support the ride.

The Loop trail is an ALMOST complete 72km circuit of trails that includes the waterfront, Humber River, Finch Hydro Corridor, and Don River trails. Unfortunately, there are about ten small gaps that undermine the value of The Loop Trail for everyday/utilitarian, recreational, and tourism cyclists. The Loop Trail is part of the city's Ravine Strategy, although the gaps are all on roads. The Loop was first announced by the city in 2020, but there has been little progress -- until the launch of the TCBC advocacy campaign and ride in November 2025.

You can ride with us for the full 72km, or join us at various locations

Estimated Itinerary:

We expect 50+ people to ride with us! TCBC estimates 6.5 hours (I think it'll take longer) with lunch & washroom breaks so bring water, snacks, stamina, and reality if you cannot ride this ride or at a pace to keep up.

CHECK your bicycle's brakes, air, and chain prior to the day.
