UPDATE July 19 1:23pm - Oleg confirmed a 3rd participant for the 160km so the start time will change to 8:45am to catch the 9am train direct to Niagara VIA station.



UPDATE July 19 12pm - Chris brought up a good point. The 7:43 train stops at Burlington so we'd have to transfer to a bus which only accommodates 2 bikes. The meeting time will not change due to this new information. To account for people dropping out the day of the event and to avoid having to start later than we should we can decide once at the Burlington GO what we want to do. I see 3 options: 1) ask the bus operator to squeeze the additional bikes inside the bus if it isn't too busy he may. 2) If there are more riders than anticipated we could travel at different times and meet up at Niagara VIA station and start riding back to Toronto at 11am vs 10am. 3) we ride out from Burlington 50kms west to account for the lost distance of not starting out in Niagara. Burlington to Toronto is 60km so we'd have to make up 100km.



Slight Change of plans. It seemed more convenient to take the GO train up to Niagara so the ride will actually be from Niagara to Toronto but still along the waterfront trail. That's about 160km. Average pace will be between 25-30km/hr with a few quick breaks in between for water and snacks. The meeting spot will be at Union Station @ 7:30am to catch the 7:43 train to Niagara Falls Via Station.
