I biked a lot yesterday. My usual commute is just less than 7 kilometres each way, but due to various things I wanted to do, despite being very sleepy due to a few days of sub-standard sleep, I covered 30 kilometres.

Here's a confusing map of my route, using Google Pedometer:

I first headed downtown from the east end for work. After work I headed up to Yonge & Bloor and then out to Danforth & Chester to visit some Metropass Affinity Program stores in preparation for the start of it this Saturday, April Fools Day, because the TTC wants to make fools of their riders by hiking fares.

I then had a couple hours to kill before heading downtown, so I went north of the Danforth and cruised the sidestreets up to the Pape & Cosburn area where I ate dinner and read for awhile. I then headed downtown, via the Bloor Viaduct, Church (which is a lot of fun going downhill) and King, to MEC to attend the CBN Speaker Series on the history of the Bike in Toronto.

It was a good event, but I think it could've used more visuals. I was surprised it didn't have visuals, actually, since it's always cool seeing what Toronto was like a long, long time ago.

I ran into a bunch of people though. Darren, Vic, Herb, and Margaret!
