- All of the clips in the video were filmed on Friday July 22nd, 2022. This video documents my 62km bike ride from downtown Toronto to my parent's house in the suburban town of Whitby. After spending a portion of my weekend with family I returned to Toronto on the GO Train.

I hope you enjoyed this video. Please COMMENT and subscribe!
Thanks for watching.
Woah, I rode essentially this exact same route just a few days ago!
Although started in Scarborough, and ended at Oshawa GO
Awesome!
Amazing. Beautiful wildlife. The three mast sailboat wow!!! Nuclear plants are scary! Lol ! Safe travels
Thanks!
Palmerston... long live Star Burger. This brings back fond memories from when I would ride from Yonge/St. Clair to Ash Creek Park in Whitby. I would always take the Gatineau Hydro Corridor east and then snake down to the waterfront trail. There's a neat pedestrian bridge that crosses the GO tracks onto Tara Ave.
Nice. I've tried a lot of different routes to Whitby including the Pan Am path route.
You have fairly decent weather for your ride -- I'm in S-W USA, yesterday was 108F (42+C). Recently retired and watching your video of your ride is motivating me to start riding, and do some sight-seeing. I have a 21-year-old 'Next-brand' mountain bike, which I bought in 2001 and seldom rode -- your video is making me think I seriously need to begin a project of getting it in shape and get to riding. Thank you for the views of your area...so nice and green compared to the desert environment here.
Riding a bike is a really great way to explore. Best of luck!
That was a long ride for you! Thanks for the video..
Thanks!
Thanks for the video - those east Toronto streets look too busy for bikes without better infrastructure.
Yes for sure. Hopefully in the future the Danforth complete street will be extended further and other infrastructure will be added to fill in the gap.
Yup
awesome video, looking forward to doing this ride myself someday
Nice! I hope you enjoy it.
Hi CJ, interesting cycle ride and good to see the extention of the Danforth bike lanes. Hot weather for cycling and we have had similar conditions over here UK. Scenic bike trails before reaching Whitby. Keep Well C.J, C.J.H.
I hope they'll extend them further! At least biking in the hot humid weather is not too bad, because the air rushes across you.
Hi CJ, I've been watching your videos for years and never knew you also live in the Toronto area! LOL! Very cool 👍🏼
Small world eh? lol
Nice ride. Gotta do a few Toronto Eastbound rides .
Thanks.
Great video as always. I know this trail very well was on it from Whitby to Pickering just the other day, but unfortunately did not see any deer 🦌 at Lynda Shores ugh maybe next time cheers
Awe too bad!
This is awesome, I’m definitely going taking the route, I’ll be doing on a track bike
Nice! I hope you enjoy the ride :)
@@cjhoyle I’ve done the ride and it was a blast
@@kristiandawe85 Great to hear 👍
Hi CJ! Love your videos. Just found your Geocache in Orillia.
Wow awesome, small world!
I live basically where you started in St. Jamestown. Across the bridge, up to mortimer, less traffic lights and baloney twisty bike lanes to Main st. Then along Danforth then to Kingston Rd. along Kingston Rd to Lawson then north to old Kingston Rd right into King st. In Oshawa. Only took me 1 hr and 54 mins to downtown Oshawa. With still 2 bars out of 6 on my battery and I only pedaled to start out and up hills to keep speed up. Total to my friends house in N. Oshawa, 53.9 kms.
Sounds like a fun ride! The route I took is definitely not the fastest or the most direct, but I like it. During the early stages of the pandemic when the arterial roads had minimal traffic I experiments with more direct routes to Whitby.
Hey, thanks for those Great Cycling Views from a Country so far Away.
Looks like motorists Heaven end Cyclists hell
Even in those residentals unless you find some of those Red lanes or Trails.
Nice to See Somebody Else riding recumbents.
Best regards from Frankfurt, germany
Our city, and especially our suburbs. aren't known for being very safe for riding a bike. But with a well-planned route, riding a bike can still be enjoyable. Thanks for watching :)
Great video CJ, my ride was to Georgetown and back from Mississauga, 74km
Wow, nice!
@@cjhoyle I also rode to Hamilton Beach trail and back to Mississauga, 114km
@@cjhoyle that was via lakeshore road!
❤from Ajax
Thanks.
I think those railway corridor are Richmond Hill go train line I believe!.
Yes, you're correct :) It's the CN "Bala Subdivision".
Great ride as always. Greatings from Poland ! (Link to the map seems not working)
Thanks. Link is fixed, sorry about that!
Looks like a good ride Christopher! Those trail sections are really nice! Just read in the description that you filmed this with a Samsung Galaxy S22. I'm guessing you got a new phone! Nice! So did you record the audio using a wireless mic? I think we had talked about this before in another video's commetn section after I mentioned that I had got the S21.
Yes, I got my S22 in June, right after I got back from my Grand River trip. I'm still getting used to filming on it, after 2 solid years using the S10. Aside from a few parts where I recorded a voiceover afterwards, the rest of the audio was recorded just using the built in microphones on the phone. The S22 seems to do a bit better job at blocking the wind noise than the S10 (though it seems to have less dynamic range). One of the tricks I use to improve the audio when it's windy is to compare the left and right stereo audio tracks, and use whichever one sounds better. I used that for a few of the clips which I filmed while I was actually in motion.
@@cjhoyle Nice! Yes I have noticed while using my S21 that it records sound very well, even when moving or during a strong wind! I took some video while riding one day and didn't think that I'd be able to hear the sound because of the wind. I was really suprised after when I listened to the video and could hear the sound perfectly! I've been using my S21 to record all of my video through this summer, with a little video recorded using my GoPro 10. I am hoping to start creating and posting this videos this fall and winter. I have recorder video during at least 8 day trips and overnight/multi-day trips so far!
Good to see you again CJ, I was wondering where you had been? but I suppose you have more to do than make CZcams videos. I recognise the area around Birchmount Kennedy and Kingston Road from friends I had in Scarborough (Lakeview Ave) when I visited them from Northern Ireland.
Thanks. I have a lot of different hobbies, and only some of them intersect with my hobby of making videos. Scarborough is not an area that a lot of people get the chance to visit when traveling from overseas :P
Dude how do you pedel for so long . I'm 47 and my legs starts hurting after 40 kms great work bro.
you get used to it and work your way up, my dad's 60 and he does 100km rides all the time
As the other commenter suggested, it works best if you gradually work up to longer and longer distances.
it called stamina. if you know then you got it.
@@HighAway ITS CALLED 40AH BATTERY WITCH I GOT NOW AND CAN DO 150 KMS NP CHECK OUT MY LATEST VIDS ON IT :)
Respect to you CJ for all you do. I must politely ask for more POV action with a little less of the commentary and short shots. I think this would add to the experience/flow. Cheers mate…
Thank you for your feedback.
I was wondering why did you edit this video down instead of showing the whole ride
If I had filmed the entire ride from beginning to end it would have been close to 4 hours long.
33 degrees is not hot! In Texas we had 3 straight days of 42.7 degrees and so far 46 days of 37.7 or more. Anyway, thanks for the video ride. I haven't ridden in a few months so I'm looking forward to cooler temps soon🤞🤞
"Hot" is definitely a relative turn. In the same way that "Cold" has a very different meaning regionally.
Only 62km?
Yes, that's correct.
yeah or there abouts. i rode there about 2 or 3 times each summer for a while now.
