Just a perfect day/Drink sangria in the park

Well, I didn't have sangria in the park, but had I known it was going to be as gorgeous a day here in Toronto as it was, I would likely have made some for the road...

Took the waterfront trail out to Cherry Beach (sidebar here - I was not impressed with the detour on the trail that took me onto Lakeshore Road underneath the Gardner up to the Don Roadway; I didn't jump onto the trail to play in traffic with semis... what the fuck are you supposed to do if you're on rollerblades down there?) and then along Commissioners to Ashbridge's Bay.

Here's the view of downtown from Ashbridges:

Not the most flattering view of the city, but a fun one to get to on a single speed ;).












After cruising out to Kew Gardens, I headed north up Glen Manor to Queen East. Once there, I found a bustling Beaches neighbourhood and a long, narrow corridor between traffic and parked cars. I got on the hoods and sped up.
My tour north up to Dundas was nothing to remark on - nor was the run over to Jarvis.
Jarvis was busy but manageable. Mount Pleasant I found to be a misnomer after a point.
Did you know Summerhill doesn't cross the subway lines? I found that out.
Mount Pleasant was much more pleasant to deal with between Inglewood and St. Clair East.

So yeah, I have a sunburn (from yesterday's yard work at the "in-laws", made worse by today's excursion), my legs aren't sore yet but may be in the morning... and I don't care.

Now, if you'll excuse me I need to go find a beer as I have no sangria handy...
