Route1: Jackson Park
Route
- 10 km
- 35-45 minutes
- Most scenic of the routes, least traffic,
route is all residential streets and trail,
remote along western most part of trail,
rough terrain in one section.
- Going west from McDonnel Street, travel
to the second bridge; look for the steep
path on your left as you approach the
bridge. Follow this path, keeping to the
right, until you reach Parkhill Road.
This short path is rough and you must
carry your bike down from the trail.

Route 1b: Alternate
Route
- 9.2 km
- 30-40 minutes
- If you want to stick to the streets, go out Weller Street instead of taking the trail. Turn left on Fair Avenue, right on Glenforest Boulevard and continue along the route as marked. This alternative is hillier, but less remote and these streets all have good lane widths.

Route 2: Clonsilla

Route 3: Southern
Route
- 11 km
- 35-45 minutes
- Good lane widths for cyclists even with the traffic along Monaghan Road and Crawford Drive west of the Parkway. Remote along Whittington Drive and part of Crawford Drive.

go through to Fisher Drive. The railway
crossing along this section is steep with
loose footing, and the trains still use
this route. Extreme caution is advised
