I didn't scout out a site ahead of time, so like the kittens, I had no pie - still it was a good day. I was free to set out about 3 pm. I asked Robb if he wanted to come along and he agreed so I got out the beater mountain bike to match his knobbies, and it took a few minutes to load up.
I had a vague idea I would try Lakeview Lunch...a sort of diner/restaurant at Ossington and Dundas. We headed west from Avenue Rd and Lawrence to Glencairn station, followed the paths above the subway down the ravine to St. Clair, took the shortcut from Connable to Walmer, went under the railroad tracks at Dupont and Howland and meandered down to the restaurant, only to find no pie. I tried the Nova Era portuguese bakery a couple of blocks west, but they had no blueberry items either, so I settled for a fruit bun and iced cappucino, and then back on the road.
We went south on Dovercourt to Sudbury, east on King to Bathurst, north to Bloor so Robb could have a smoked meat sandwich (Pure Pwnage, for those in the know) and then followed a route not too far from our southbound one, back up to home. 17 mi.
EDIT: we bought some blueberry pie this evening and it is warming up as I type this.
