Ya, fun day. The weather was pretty friendly once you got moving. Getting lost in the neighbourhoods around the river valley could certainly lead to a quick death from some of those hills. I think next weekend I may try that route again and just skip all the crap in the burbs - just take Bloor to Royal York and try a simpler route. Once spring has taken care of the Humber trail I'll think about checking that again.
I ride the humber a lot in the summer. It's a nice tour and you can go all the way to steeles. I remember one day last summer when it was crazy hot I decided to "get out of the city" and rode up the humber to steeles and then continued Northward to king road hoping to catch some country. There's some nice hills up there, but the continuous line of trucks and cars was annoying since when I left I'd pictured nothing but me and the grass blowing in the wind. Turns out the most peaceful part of the ride was along the humber.

If anyone is up for a ride earlyish tomorrow I'd be interested.
