finally we have had some easing of the weather and i've been on the bike now four days in a row, which is probably the most since before christmas.
yesterday i took a ride around the Leslie street spit - a Toronto treasure that is open to cyclists & pedestrians on weekends.
this is the writeup from the friends of the spit website:
"The Leslie Street Spit is North America's most remarkable public urban wilderness. It is a 5-kilometre long peninsula, built by lakefilling, that juts into Lake Ontario close to downtown Toronto. Started 40 years ago, it was intended to be a breakwater for harbour expansion, which was not needed due to a decrease in lake shipping. Now, the Spit - as it is lovingly called by the people of Toronto - has been transformed by nature into an extraordinary wildlife reserve, where humans can find a car-free refuge from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy a quiet time amid unmanicured vegetation"
