Saturday, January 30th, 2010 was the Coldest Day of the Year Ride in Toronto. At -17 celsius, the day was actually the coldest in Toronto this winter. About 40 cyclists met at the Grenadier Cafe in High Park to ride along the Martin Goodman Trail, a waterfront trail that is cleared of snow all winter long. Snowfall has been light this year and a recent warm stretch has left city streets and cycling paths nearly clear of snow and ice.
Here are a few photos of the ride:
Paths are never this clear at the end of January in Toronto.
Not much room for bike parking at the Grenadier Cafe.
The warmer weather is great for cycling, but this pond is usually full of ice skaters this time of year.
The group reaches the Martin Goodman Trail.
The waterfront may be cold, but it is certainly beautiful.
The Martin Goodman Trail lets you ride uninterrupted at your own pace.

Nice! Looks like the best day of the year to me.
