Is there a reason for downtown TO? it's a bit indirect if Kitchener is the end game. If more about the ride than the location you may consider coming a fair bit further north, starting west at Hwy 9 and staying completely north of Brampton. Start going SW on old 24 through Erin on rural routes and taking yourself through Guelph instead.
The hills in Dundas are killer, but the trails are plenty.
The only reason for Downtown Toronto is that that's where the Waterfront Trail spits you out. I've considered bypassing the GTA on the North. But since almost everyone seems to take the Waterfront Trail I have a hard time figuring out a good route. Any advice would be appreciated.
