转一下 Wang Yi 同学的提议：

Looks like Monday is the only rainless day rencently (cloudy, high 13, and west 25 km/h), do you guys want to do some recreational cycling before the heart and stroke?

Here is the plan.

I am planning to ride the go train from Union station to Hamilton (aldershot station), and then cycling back from hamilton to toronto (since wind direction is west).

Details:

We will take the 8:37 train leaving fromm Union station and then arrived at aldeshot station at 9:43am (TTC start operating from 6am on victoria day). Then we will cycling back from the water front trail ( Most on lake shore rd, and some parks). The total distance is 70 km. I expect it will take us around 3-4 hours to come back.

The cost is 8.55 for each people's go train ticket.

The schedule of go train.

The map of waterfront trail. We will ride from map 2-2 to map 2-11.

If you interested, we can meet at the outside of union station at 8:20 on victoria day, and Please confirm your attendence.

Since it is recreational cycling, everyone is welcome.

Time: 8:20am Victoria day
Place: Union station
Trail: watefront trail west
Distance: 70 km
Level: Recreational

that is an excellent idea!

Is it suitable for an irregular, occational biker? Since this could be my first time biking long distance. Do you think that will be a problem?

what is needed?

Union station is big. where exact? anyway to contact you people?

I am considering it. I don't know whether it will be suitable for a newbie like me.

my bike is not a racing bike, it is just one of those regular one from Canadian tire. Do you think it will suitable?

我在前年骑过一次，沿着Waterfront trail 由东往西，从Union station 骑到Oakville，一个人，边骑边拍照边找路，第一次去那边，还顺便到那里的湖滨公园转了一下，下午坐Go Train 返回多伦多的。
因在Trail 骑车，速度不会太快。累了可以坐车回来。

注意事项：
调好车子，保证闸、链条良好工作
戴头盔，有骑行手套戴上
早晨要是吃好、饱，可以在车上吃
带水、巧克力棒
防晒霜

大家在Union 楼前碰面吧。
我的电话PM了。

明天天气还挺冷，13度，多穿点衣服，我们是顺风骑，估计不用使劲都能给直接刮回来。

It is a regret, that I think I will not make it tomorrow.

Spend 2 hours cleaning and oiling my bike. Went shopping for water and food.

sigh..... something come up.

Wish you all enjoy the trip. I guess I have to wait for the next one.

周日（18号）去Bruce Trial Hiking了，在雨中走了大半天，回来的时候天晴了。到家有点累，没有Check Email，错过了这次活动。

希望下次能和大家一起骑车。

刚刚发现6月1号是周日，Finch地铁站的首班车是8:57AM。我们现在没有车，这样的话坐TTC就没法赶上时间了。有没有离Finch & Pharmacy近的朋友可以Carpool我们过去的？两人两辆自行车。谢谢！

TTC bus是不是早点啊，我反正打算直接骑过去，

报告一下昨天的行程：

8:43 从Union Station 坐上了GO Train, 上车时也没人检票，车厢里没几个人，都快到终点了，才有个乘务员来查票。

到了终点站 Aldershot station，出站后打听了一下路，就一直向南骑，一路下坡到了湖边，转了一会儿，就沿着Waterfront Trail 东行，一路标志很明显，湖滨风景很美，还分别在几个park 停留了一会，拍了N张片片。

骑到Toronto Union 地铁站，我的GPS 显示全程 74.44公里。

看了下我的GPS纪录：
9:52分出Aldershot 车站
1:44分进了麦当劳吃午餐
2:25分出发继续东行
3:56分到Union Station

前半段休息了一两次，补水+snack；另外还逛了几个沿途的公园+拍照

希望下次能加入。理想的骑法是由东向西骑。这样可以在HAMILTON附近游玩一下，回程在GO TRAIN上也可以休息。
