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?
I ride to Bathurst/Wilson all the time and from my place at Pape/Danforth I take Pape north to Millwood all the way to Mt. Pleasant. North to Bythwood, left to Yonge, north to Yonge Blvd, left on Yonge Blvd to Wilson. When I went to York I would continue on Wilson to Faywood which go north to Sheppard where it becomes Wilmington and stay on that until Finch, then left. Best way imo to go further north is to cross Dufferin and take Alness to Steeles. The trip from my place to Bathurst and Wilson takes me 35 -40 minutes.
I stay away from Bayview. North of Eglinton when traffic is moving people hit 80 and south of Eglinton people are stupid. Bayview has fewer lights than most strees and people tend to drive really fast/stupid on it. I used to work north of Bayview and Lawrence and alwys avoided Bayview.
