Ride the Toronto Loop (again)

After a half century(!) it’s time to close The Toronto Loop. [TORONTO COMMUNITY BIKEWAYS COALITION](https://www.communitybikewaysto.ca/) is producing and leading this epic fall ride. Volunteer marshalls will support the ride. The Loop trail is an ALMOST complete 75km 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 75km, or join us at various locations. **Route will be counter clockwise to our spring Loop Ride! NEW starting location to be determined.** 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. CURIOUS before you sign up? **Check out Bromptoning's detailed [video](https://youtu.be/gi2p35hlsVs?si=GUXaE62vbXcgehJ7) from the spring LOOP Ride.** **CHECK** your bicycle's brakes, air, and chain prior to the day.

Saturday Early Evening Tennis - Mount Dennis

Please specify if you would like casual hitting or are looking for point play (or both). If the latter, you will need to further specify if you prefer singles/doubles/both again. Parking has always been nightmarish here on the weekends. It helps if we get here a few minutes earlier to look for spots. Either that, or we can choose to use the secret parking lot that is hidden on the opposite (north) side of Eglinton Avenue West. When you get here, you can sound off in the event's chat/discussion section so people know which court(s) you are on.
