Which route do you take? I'm close to Keele (Queen/Roncesvalles) so I go north up Lansdowne to St. Clair W. then meander over to Keele just north of Rogers Rd via some side streets and Old Weston Road.
I know that section by the hospital well, its a really hairy ride even in the best of weather!

I live around Ossington & Harbord and ride up Ossington to Davenport, Davenport to Old Weston Rd. then Old Weston to Keele. so far thats the best way i have figured to get up there with the least amount of hills. Sometimes i ride through Prospect Cemetery on the way home if i don't feel like dealing with traffic.

It looks like I'll just stick with my regular tires for now unless we get hardcore snow and ice.

thanks for a the detailed responses and general niceness!
