Description:
Note, trail is clear, but you cannot access Anything north, as the vehicle bridge is under construction. No access to Flats, Motown, Bunny, etc. you can enter Catalyst via Topo. This is now a very puckering line. We rode Catalyst as a loop coming south on Beaver Flats, then walking out past the construction workers and the guy let us through the gate back to Ridge.

 I guess Shake It Off/Southern Flats is going to get some more traffic.

Hopefully they'll let us through after work hours and on weekends.

This is a pretty unfortunate cutoff. The only way to access ET Seton from Cricket Tree is now: Go through the Overlea bridge and access through the Science Center connector (2.5km, no bike lane), go down Laird and access from Vanderhoof (4.6km, no bike lane) or backtrack all the way to Crothers and bike on the other side of the river (7.4km).

 Yes for now anyways. You could ride up the Don Trail from Pottery, get to the Forks of the Don then ride Motown, but Ridge dead ends at the old cricket tree for now, and so does flats.

 Dang... So is Crother Woods effectively isolated from the rest of the Don?
