Scarborough South Loop / October 23, 2022
The Driveside x Mandem CC Community Ride 2022
As always, we started with a land acknowledgement – We ride stolen land. We are riding in the lands of the Anishibaabe, including the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee peoples.
27.5 km of conversation pace riding – the perfect way to get acquainted with all that Southeast Scarborough has to offer. Registration was made free with the option to donate to the Toronto Indigenous Harm Reduction Fund.
In the spirit of a ‘no-drop’ ride, we had the help of incredible volunteer ride leaders who ensured everyone stuck together for the entirety of the ride. We started the ride at Guildwood GO Station to faciliate the use of public transit and limit our emissions footprint. All riders were offered free coffee.
The ride featured several stops along the way including the Scarborough Bluffs at Gully’s Gates, Colonel Danforth and Morningside Park before finishing at Greenvale Park.
The ride ended with a social and snacks.

After sharing our take on the Scarborough South Loop in hopes of sharing all that Scarborough has to offer with cycling community, we were blown away by the positive reception. The message was clear, people had no idea just how beautiful Scarborough is. Our inaugaral ride was borne from calls of the community to ride experience it together.
