Lake Ontario Trek Moves East of Toronto

Our Trekkers have been up to a lot this weekend!  
 Here is what Leader Laura has to say about the group's time in Toronto:
We had a great time wandering the city. We went to Chinatown for lunch and authentic snacks and bubble tea. We went over to the trendy Kensington Market to shop for something unique-the street is full of quirky boutiques, vintage shops, casual eateries, record shops and lots of people! We took the ferry to the Toronto islands and toured around by bike. And one night, we went to a Blue Jays baseball game. Another night we indulged in some Ethiopian cuisine.

 Here is what Trekker Jordana has to say:

After a long ride on Saturday, we woke up to a beautiful sunrise over Lake Ontario.  We at a quick breakfast of oatmeal, Nutella and Orange Juice and were off!  We rode for a few hours, trying our best not to get lost, and came to a lovely lake side trail.  There was a charity ride on the same trail as us, so we had company as we chugged our way up some wicked hills.  At lunch time we regrouped and devoured some neapolitan ice cream and carrots (we know its a weird combo but it works!).  We had a cozy plot of land to pitch our Tents, took showers and did some laundry and cooked dinner.  A nice, full, tiring day!
Here's looking at you, Toronto!
 Tonight the group will stay in Brighton, Ontario.
