  1. That's in Canada you know.

    Does anyone on here live there/ride there much? I'm
    apparently nipping over for a few days to do some work at
    the end of May and I'd rather not take my bike with me but
    would very much like to do some riding there, so I'd be
    interested in places that hire bikes out (reasonably good
    ones) in the good parts.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    samuri.

    When you get there, just say and I'll try to hook you up
    with some people who can take you on some awesome riding.
    Make sure to get some riding in the Don Valley if you're
    going to be in the downtown region.

    In the case of Toronto, it would be a hockey mom, not much

    I haven't lived in Toronto for 10 years so may be out of
    date, but here are some ideas (assuming you want
    singletrack). Ask your contacts when you are there, perhaps
    they can direct you better: Don Valley from Overlea Blvd
    (Leaside) past brickyards to Balfour Park Rouge Valley
    Pickering (just east of city) Hardwood Hills (Barrie - north
    of city) Kelso/Hilton Falls (west of city) Forks of the
    Credit Park (NW of city)

    plus lots of singletrack I haven't got a clue about, maybe
    others can help. plus many miles of paved multi-use stuff.
    Actually the Don Valley paved trail from Sunnybrook Hospital
    down to Skydome and then out Lakeshore Blvd towards Humber
    Bay past the Exhibition grounds is a scenic ride.

    Have fun

    When end of May? I'd love to come up and buy you a beer, but
    the scheduling may be tricky. Look for an email.
