Went to Rouge Valley today for a ride. And i know, it's illegal to ride there, but whatever. Everyone else does and you never get caught. So i started at Pearce house and went down the huge hill to the train tracks. I turned right there and ended up in something that looked like an elephant sanctuary (this is near the toronto zoo, so my assumption probably isn't too far off.) There was a bunch of double track, so i turned back. This time, when i got to the train tracks, i took a right and found singletrack that lead into the forest. It was a windy hiking trail that later lead off into a long traverse. I was real freaked out cause the traverse had roots and dips everywhere and losing traction meant sliding about 60 metres down into who knows where. I managed not to slip off the trail and continued on until a steep dowhill that lead out onto a road, at which point i headed back. Yeah, so here are a couple of pictures....


Old elephant sanctuary?

Downhill...i mean, uphill
