Bike Rides Toronto

Bike to Distillery District thru Toronto Parks! 25km return.

BrompTOberFest 4 (Bromptons Only Please)

SAVE THE DATE for the fold-tastic event of the year! We'll begin at [Pedaal](https://www.pedaal.com/) with a beverage, meet a new friend, and a 'how fast can you fold/unfold a Brompton' contest with the absolutely wild blind-folded option and perhaps folding while standing on one leg! It's fun and there's fab prizes! The route will travel through downtown Toronto. The pace will be a slow roll as we stay together creating a Brompton Buzz! I have curated some ‘top tier’ new parks & an 18km route. Our afternoon together will conclude with a picnic at the new west end of Biidaasige Park for inspired city skyline views! This is a social, fun, and judgement free ride. Bring good vibes and plenty of smiles. Here is the [route](https://ridewithgps.com/trips/405865336?privacy_code=wMUOZmLkJJyUnu0VDtvRkxYC0NyWzmo8) from my Aug 16 pre-ride - adjustments to come when I ride it a second time to fine tune our twists & turns & folds!

🎉 Upbeat Neighbours Social Catch-Up in North York

🙌 Hello there, North York folks! So looking forward to having you join us at the social. 👋

Dine side by side with other solo diners — every Thursday in Toronto (#dine)

# Dine side by side with other solo diners. **Every Thursday. Everyone comes on their own.** We find and hold the city's most social seats for solo diners — you reserve yours and show up. ## The seats do the introductions. * **Conversation starts itself** You sit down with a hello, and talk starts on its own — side by side, there's no face-to-face interview, nobody performs, nobody's on a date. Counter seats have worked this way forever. * **The numbers agree** Nine in ten Gen Z diners say they enjoy dining alongside strangers, and one in three has made a real friend that way. People want an experience as much as a meal — and the city's restaurants have quietly had the perfect seats for it all along. We make them accessible: one held seat, every Thursday. Dinner can be a full meal or just a drink. The company costs nothing. * **You're part of the room** Alone at a table for one, you watch the room. Seated side by side, you *are* the room — a bartender pouring or a kitchen at work in front of you, good company beside you. That's the whole difference. ## How it works 1. Reserve a seat One tap, and we show you this Thursday's spot. A few details hold your seat. 2. You're expected Reminders arrive on WhatsApp before dinner. Walk in, show your reservation at the door, take your seat. 3. The counter does the rest Good food, side-by-side seats, and conversation that happens effortlessly. ## Nothing about Thursday is random. Every spot on our list is somewhere we'd happily spend an evening ourselves. We look for rooms where conversation already exists — lively counters, chefs at work, bartenders who know the city, places where coming on your own has always felt natural. Whether it's another #dine guest, the person beside you, or a conversation that starts on its own, you're part of the room from the moment you sit down. ## Good to know * ✓ Not dating, not networking — just good company * ✓ You only pay for what you order * ✓ Full dinner or just a drink — order what suits you * ✓ English-speaking company * ✓ Free to cancel until 4 hours before your reservation Coming on your own shouldn't mean being on your own — and the best seat in the house isn't always a table. Sometimes it's front row at the counter. **IMPORTANT** Seat confirmations happen through #dine: https://www.hashtagdine.com/

Don Valley Ravine Hike Oct. Autumn Leaves

The autumn fall colors in the Don Valley are fantastic. Perhaps this will be the best hike of all. It is going to be a special hike because we will go on some different trails that go deeper in the ravine. You are going to really feel the autumn and nature. Then of course the very nice Farmers Outdoor Market where we go towards the end. On our last hike, a number of us went to Kupfert and Kim vegan restaurant in Yorkville. And it was well like. We may do it again if there is enough interest. We may also go to Indigos again and see if we can play the piano. Lets get another good turn out. You can invite your family and friends, Just make sure they have good health to do the 8 - 10 km hike with hills.
