# Route
## Highlights
This is a great route to ride with a friend if you want to discover Toronto's diverse waterfront.  The highlights of the route are: Queen's Quay, The Beaches boardwalk, the amazing Rosetta McClain Gardens, wonderful Cliffcrest home watching, some challenging offroad riding on the Doris McCarthy Trail and enjoying the waterfront unobstructed right up until Frenchman's Bay.

There are no major roads on this route.  ~10% of the route is on minor roads shared with cars.  ~90% on safe, shared paths with pedestrians.  ALWAYS yield to pedestrians.

Fitness requirements are low because it is not for high speeds and more of a cruising ride.  The best time of year to do the route is Spring-Summer-Fall.  In the summer months, the mosquitos come out as the evening cools. You will be on the Waterfront Trail for the majority of the ride.*
