Bike Commuting Toronto

Midweek morning hike - Earl Bales

🍂 Crothers Woods Fall Hike & Ice Cream Treat! 🍦

## 🍂 **Crothers Woods Fall Hike & Ice Cream Treat!** 🍦 Toronto doesn’t have many true hiking trails — but Crothers Woods is one of the best! This beautiful wooded trail is especially stunning in the fall, with the leaves turning every shade of red and gold. We’ll start by walking along **Broadview Avenue to Pottery Road**, heading down the hill to meet the **Don Valley Trail**. From there, we’ll join the **Crothers Woods Trail**, take in the fall colours, stop for a short break, and then walk back. There are a few light hills — and one big one at the very end (Pottery Road, I’m looking at you!) — but don’t worry, there’s a sweet reward waiting. After all that hard work, we’ll stop for **Dairy Queen ice cream**! This hike is a bit more challenging than some of our regular walks, but totally worth it for the views (and the ice cream). **This event happens rain or shine!** *** ### 📍 **Meetup Details** **Meeting Spot:** Right outside **Broadview Subway Station** — I’ll be the one wearing the **Moose Hat!** 🦌 **Ending Spot:** Broadview Subway Station **Meetup Fee:** $5 (cash in person or e-transfer to **mathewmaclean@hotmail.com**) *** ### 🕒 **Timing** 11:00am and I will only wait 5mins — the hike should take about **2 hours**. You can leave anytime you like if you need to head back early. *** ### 🥾 **What to Bring** * Water * Good walking or hiking shoes * A snack * A positive attitude (and maybe room for ice cream!) ### *** ### ⚠️ **A Quick Note** Sometimes things come up and I might need to cancel or reschedule. Please keep an eye on the event page for updates. *** ### 👋 **About This Group** This group is open to **everyone** — whether you’re single or not, new to the city, or just looking to be social and make friends. We also host **movies, walks, hikes, arts & culture events, and restaurant outings**! You can RSVP ahead of time **or just show up** if you’re not sure you can make it — we’re flexible like that. *** **Organizer:** Mathew 📧 Email: **torontomoviesandoutings@hotmail.com** **Come for the trails.** **Stay for the conversation.** **Leave with a new connection — and maybe a new friend.** 🍂💛

November hiking in Don Valley Trails

November is good to visit the DV trails. The trees will likely still be in nice colors. Nice to get out in the hature, get some exrcise, meet interesting people and connect with nature. The outdoor Farmers market is also a nice visit towards the end. After if there is enough interest, we may go to nearby Sister Saigon on Yonge st which is connect to Saigon Lotus in KM. And if the piano at Indigo Bookstore is open, then it might be nice to visit there. Should be another good trip. Lets get another nice turn out. You need to be reasonably fit for this 8 - 10 km hike with hills. Bring water and some snacks. Wear good hiking shoes also. And please be on time.

Desk to Dawn takes its first 7k!

Recommended: bring lights and wear bright colored layers. It may be chilly in the morning and you may have to shed layers. Bring hydration of courseee and a good pair of running shoes goes without saying..no judgment if you want to flop with crocs on the MGT. Live location will be shared in the WhatsApp group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/ITRRVnTQYbq9AJl094p8iQ?s=cl&p=a&mlu=4&ilr=4

NEW TRAIL! 🍂 From Scarborough to North York: The Fall Colours Trail Walk 🌈

# 🍂 From Scarborough to North York: The Fall Colours Trail Walk 🌈 ### A Scenic Fall Adventure Through Trails, Ravines & Toronto History Toronto has some wonderful natural spaces tucked between its neighbourhoods, and this walk connects two of them into one longer adventure! We’ll begin in Scarborough, exploring the **Gatineau Corridor Trail**, with its wildflowers, tall grasses, and green spaces where nature is allowed to grow a little more freely. 🍁 From there, we’ll make our way along some city streets before connecting with another trail system and continuing through the surrounding ravines toward the **Rainbow Tunnel**. The tunnel is an unusual piece of Toronto history, painted in 1971 by teenager B.C. Johnson as a tribute to his friend Sigred, who died in a car accident. Although the artwork has seen better days, we’ll make a quick stop to see it before continuing toward our final destination. We’ll finish at **Shops at Don Mills**, where anyone who wants to can join us for coffee, a pastry, or something to eat after the walk. ☕🥐 This is a longer outing than some of our regular walks, but we’ll take our time, enjoy the scenery, and have a break along the way. *** ### 🚶‍♂️ What We’ll Do Along the route, we’ll: * Explore the Gatineau Corridor Trail and its naturalized green spaces 🌼 * Walk through parks and neighbourhood streets * Take a break midway through the walk * Connect with the Moccasin Trail and surrounding ravine paths 🌳 * Stop briefly at the Rainbow Tunnel 🌈 * Continue to Shops at Don Mills * Finish with an optional coffee or snack with the group ☕ The walk should take approximately **3 hours**, depending on the pace of the group and the conditions along the route. **Please note:** This is a point-to-point walk. We will not return to our starting location at Dollar Tree. At the end, I’ll help anyone who needs assistance figuring out their transit options. *** ### ☀️ Weather & Expectations This walk takes place in typical Toronto weather conditions. Please dress appropriately for the forecast and wear comfortable walking shoes. The route includes a mix of paved streets, trails, and potentially uneven or unpaved surfaces. There will be some distance to cover, so this walk is best suited to people who are comfortable walking for around three hours, with breaks. This is a social walk, not a race. We’ll keep a steady pace and make time to enjoy the surroundings. 🌦️ **This event happens rain or shine!** *** ### 🧢 Meetup Details 📍 **Starting Location:** Outside the Dollar Tree near Kennedy Station 🫎 **Look for me wearing my Moose Hat!** ⏰ **Meetup Time:** 11:00 AM I will only wait 5 minutes. **Early is on time. On time is late.** 🏁 **End Point:** Shops at Don Mills, North York 🚇 **Transit:** We’ll finish near the Eglinton line. I’ll help anyone who needs directions for getting home by transit. *** ### 🎟️ Meetup Fee **$5 cash in person or e-transfer to [mathewmaclean@hotmail.com](mailto:mathewmaclean@hotmail.com)** This fee helps support the group and allows us to continue organizing walks and other events throughout Toronto. *** ### ☕ After the Walk Once we reach Shops at Don Mills, anyone who wants to continue the outing can join us for coffee, pastries, or a bite to eat. It's a chance to relax, chat, and get to know one another after our walk. Participation is optional. *** ### 🎒 What to Bring 💧 Water 👟 Comfortable walking shoes 🥨 A snack 🧥 Weather-appropriate clothing 📱 Your phone or camera for photos *** ### 🌈 Who Is This For? This walk is great for: * People who enjoy discovering hidden parts of Toronto * Anyone interested in local history and unusual landmarks * Walkers who enjoy exploring trails and ravines * People looking to meet others and make friends * Anyone who wants to spend a few hours outdoors enjoying the fall colours The trails and Rainbow Tunnel are part of the adventure, but **the people you meet along the way are the real experience.** *** **REMEMBER:** You're welcome to RSVP ahead of time or just show up on the day if you're unsure about your schedule. Sometimes things happen and events may need to be cancelled or changed, so please keep an eye on the event page for updates. 👤 **Organizer: Mathew** Questions? Post on the event wall or email **[torontomoviesandoutings@hotmail.com](mailto:torontomoviesandoutings@hotmail.com)** **Come for the trails.** **Stay for the conversation.** **Leave with a new connection — and maybe a new friend.** 🍂💛
