Details:

What: Leslie St. Spit Bike-N-Shoot
When: Sat. July 3, 2010
Time: 2 PM
Where: foot of the spit park entrance, Leslie St (Tommy Thompson Park)
Bring: any kind of camera, bike, snacks, water, sunblock, sunglasses, hat, sense of adventure

If you are throwing your bike in/on the car, there is parking at the foot of the spit. It's not marked as such but there were no problems last year.

For the event - planning on biking along the spit to the end, stopping at interesting spots for photos.

Last year there were a few that walked part way. If you want to walk, click on the middle button thingy and maybe a walking group + biking group can happen. It's a long walk so don't count on reaching the end.

This event will be weather-dependent - will decide friday night.
If it ends up being very sunny, make sure you are prepared with sunblock and water.

Be nice to the wildlife - plants and animals. Don't tromp on ground you are not supposed to tromp on. Don't burn cars.

Hmmm, I'm just re-learning cycling - wonder if I can do it. I'll ponder it a while. How is the trail - is it fairly rough in spots?

Just looked at the link - smooth for the first 3 kms - how are the last 2 kms?

Elaine, most of the trail is fairly easy. Sometimes we do go off-trail a bit to get closer to the water, or see something interesting, but still not too bad.
