Agreed, the sky looked like ass but heading north this morning was much much nicer (read: easier ) with barely any wind to kick me down.

Might venture east across Wilson and York Mills again tonight, last week felt epic climbing a couple of those hills (especially the one on York Mills just east of Yonge).

There seems to be no good way to traverse the city from when I'm at the client site. My buddy is at Greenwood/Danforth, I'm at Keele/Steeles so I either go south to Eglinton and head west to around Spadina, then meander down (Davenport/Church type route) and cross the valley at Bloor, or as I tried last week and head across Wilson/York Mills to wherever and head south - probably either Don Mills Rd. or take Victoria Park and cut back down O'Connor - not going too far east would be ideal but I'm keen to hit Eglinton no further west than Leslie - I'm stubborn (paranoid?) on not taking that area/intersection of Eglinton. Ideas?

Hmm, just thought maybe Bayview south to Eg, then south on Laird and into East York that way. Anyone know of Bayview ride conditions?
