The Flats

Cont'd from my comment about building along the Ridge.

The Flats for those that remember used to be 2-3 sections where you had to cross the tracks in a few places and the south end started at the railroad bridge and ended at the Millwood rd bridge. You then either went up the Ridge whats now called the Ridge Tumble or up further down by the fenced off power mini station or instead of going up the ridge there you could stay right and cross the tracks a lil further down to continue on the section of the flats which is now defunct.

So I made a couple sections from the Millwood rd bridge so we didn't have to cross the tracks anymore and further down. Also before the other end of the Flats where you crossed the tracks again I made a lil reroute closer to the river since the original trail ran closer to the tracks. Then someone(s) made the platform that runs under the train track bridge. I don't know who did that but it was definately a great thing to add.

PS. You know whats good about lurking and not admiting to them back in the day is not getting harassed by others (Like RA got for my work) that didn't like what was going on and with current years you get to see those that claim to have built trails that they mearly followed along after they were built or maybe they did some thing along it but generally 90% of the trail was completed even if it had hard climbs or crossed muddy sections.

The trails touched by my shovel stretch from Pottery rd and spread throughout the Don Valley system. Most were made just so I didn't have to ride along the pavement to get from the Ridge to the Thomas H. Thomson Nature Trail aka Road Apples or the very few walking trails that were a lil fun to ride along like Swamp which ended at Eglinton bridge untill someone *cough cough* made it go past there. Anyways can save that for another time.

Does anyone know if it's possible to connect to the Ridge near the Millwood bridge? I'm trying to find a good way to exit it, since the Flats is blocked westbound.

Comfortable and rideable in all sections, a little depressing at this time of the spring with many trees down, but cleared from the trail.
