to Toronto - 67 km
Cyclists will ride
tree canopied residential streets, off-road bike paths that meander
along the shores of Lake Ontario, and will stay in single file on
the sections that take them on Lakeshore as they visit Hamilton,
Burlington, Oakville, Mississauga, and in to Toronto. Waterfront
parks, harbours, formal gardens and beautiful homes will greet the
cyclists before the CN tower becomes visible, urging riders to the
finish at Fort York.
