A good day

By Brompton folding bicycle to downtown Toronto avoiding the roads - take the pavements along the Queensway and Parklawn to Humber Bay Park - join the Martin Goodman trail along the lakeshore in blazing sunshine, dawdling along about seventy minutes in all. Past the Exhibition Centre, the windmill, the Molson Amphitheatre and the CN Tower to meet the misses at Queen's Quay. A soda on the dockside before folding up the bike and taking a taxi home, after about a seven-mile ride. Building up gradually to a proper ride having tried a short trip to Dimpflmeier's bakery outlet earlier in the week. Still dreaming of the Georgian trail up on Lake Huron - could this be the week-end?
