Cycling day trip from Etobicoke to Concord

Kick off your ride in Etobicoke, Toronto’s laid-back west-end suburb known for its leafy parks and easygoing vibe. Heading north, you’ll roll along mostly paved and asphalt surfaces (so no worries about mud or bumpy gravel here), weaving through a nice mix of quiet roads and dedicated cycleways—almost half the route is on low-traffic streets, and another big chunk is on proper bike trails.

The journey clocks in at just over 32 km and brings you a bit of a workout, climbing close to 192 meters overall—but there’s a nice balance with some gentle descents, too. The urban scenery gives way to more industrial views as you reach Concord, which sits in Vaughan, just north of Toronto. Fun fact: Concord’s known for its big business parks and attractions like Canada’s Wonderland, if you fancy a post-ride adventure.

All in all, this route keeps things smooth and mostly relaxed, perfect for a weekend outing or a steady commuter ride from the leafy city edge to the buzz of Vaughan.
