Another trail ride

April 21st, 2009

I took my Giant XTC 1 out for another ride this weekend.  I rode north along the trails starting from Orchard Heights Park in Etobicoke-Toronto.  The trail begins right under the bridge of the Gardiner Expressway.  It rides along The West Mall all the way up to Dundas.  Unfortunately that is where it ends.  It is short (two or three kilometres), but some parts are challenging enough to make you want to go back again.

I used my new favorite panoramic stitching program AutoStitch to create these panoramic photos.  Feel free to click and see a larger version of them.
