Corrupt Garmin file. Garmin support couldn't support me. Dutch .fit file fixer did.
Parked near Roselawn/Allen.
Nice downhill to start:
Beltline - Mount Pleasant Cemetery - Mud Creek - Moore Park Ravine - Brickworks.
Frogger across Bayview - Pottery Road - Lower Don Trailway - ET Seton past Thorncliffe Park and the Science Centre - Sunnybrook - Serena Gundy - Broadway - Bayview - Eglinton - zigzag to Davisville - Oriole Park - Beltline.
Long slow grade into a sneaky stiff cold headwind from Brickworks on.

Big midtown loop. Parked near Wychwood Barns.
Things along the way:
- A very nice Havergal College (Avenue Road/Lawrence Ave) to Sunnybrook Hospital greenbelt.
- Some exploring around the institutions along Bayview near Sunnybrook, including the main hospital, Glendon College and the Toronto French School.
- Hopped the fence behind the TFS to find a nice bit of forest with O-store mini controls attached to trees throughout. Got to the north end of the property and was stopped by a beast of a fence, peppered with private property signs. Woods were even nicer there. Not sure if it is Granite Club or Rosedale Golf Club property.
Really should have hopped that sucker too - instead dicked around looking for another way out. Followed an uncrossable river under the big Bayview bridge to Old Lawrence Avenue.
- Lawrence East up towards Post Road with the Crescent School property on the left and one of the Sunnybrook valleys on the right.
- Originally planned to go down to Brickworks and wiggle my way back, but time was ticking and a blister was birthing on my instep. 30-35km would've been dumb anyway.
- So many Raid The Six options - so many neat hybrid sprint areas.
- Really need a mapper for the field here - can't do it myself - already living on borrowed time.
