This posting is somewhat of a continuation of the posting by jeeff in 2007: Traces of Citynoise

We took the GO train to Oshawa and cycled to Brighton where we camped at Presquile Provincial Park. Then we cycled back to Oshawa and took the GO train again, home to Toronto!

The waterfront trail is what we followed, you can learn more about this cycling trail system by visiting www.waterfronttrail.org/

GO transit allows bikes onboard their trains. Check out more details here:

Here are some pictures from our trip. I think that when you travel by train and bike you see a lot more of the towns and cities in our province. For instance, driving on the 401 you see the city names fly by but rarely catch a glimpse of these places of merit. There are some real gems along the waterfront, get out there on a bike and do some exploring!
