I've got a couple of days off this week and thought I'd bike from Toronto to Port Hope. That will complete the section of the Waterfront Trail from Kingston to Fort Erie (I've been doing it in bits and pieces).
I know there is a nasty bit* on Kingston Road on the eastern border of Toronto, but are there other nasty bits I should be aware of?
*Nasty bits, for those unfamiliar with the jargon, are spots where you are forced to cycle on a busy roadway without any type of separation such as bike lane, where the speed the other vehicles is significantly greater than your speed.
Also, I'm stealth camping so I'm looking for advice on nice quiet spots along the way. I especially appreciate spots close to brew pubs, but this may be too much to ask or imagine.
