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/routes/57412254?privacy_code=cVMdznnCPVzSjXLPxQd9isDVSRYoD91a&via=OnwsauX4z8ZF-fimQjz1Rg) for the twists & turns & folds!

There are no major hills or difficult terrain, but you'll want comfortable shoes and enough energy for the full route. *** ## 🍂 Fall Is the Best Time to Do This Walk There's something particularly nice about this trail in the fall. The air is cooler, the leaves are changing, and the open stretches of the trail give you plenty of room to slow down and enjoy the season.

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.
