Hey fellow cycling enthusiasts! If you're looking to venture from the bustling cityscape of Toronto to the charming, steel-city vibes of Hamilton, I’ve got just the route for you.

Start your journey in Toronto, a city brimming with culture and diversity. Known for its iconic CN Tower, vibrant arts scene, and love for hockey, Toronto sets a perfect backdrop for cycling adventures. You'll find the majority of the route on smooth asphalt, with about half of it dedicated to cycleways—ideal for a leisurely ride.

As you pedal southwest, breathe in the fresh air along quiet roads and paths. The whole ride covers just over 101 kilometers with the scenery slowly transitioning from the energetic city buzz to the serene waterfront views as you approach Hamilton. On your way, there's a pleasant descent to enjoy plus a few gentle climbs to keep the ride exciting.

Eventually, you’ll reach Hamilton, a city that's carved its niche in steel production, but has embraced its leafy surroundings and artsy vibes. Take some time to explore the Royal Botanical Gardens or hike the trails if your legs aren’t too tired.

So, grab your helmet, hit those pedals, and enjoy this delightful city-to-city journey!
