The feeling after a long hike, bike ride or even a day at an amusement park feels great! Sure, your body is tired, and maybe even a little dehydrated but the accomplishment of being able to say, "Wow I spent the whole day being active," is unbeatable.
I've always been a big believer in being a tourist in your own city/community. Even if your hometown doesn't have many sights, I'm sure it has nature, and unique things to get out and see.
With the weekend approaching, I want to propose a challenge to my readers:
-On either Saturday or Sunday, pack a bag of water, snacks, and weather appropriate clothing.
-Feel free to also include a camera for pictures or videos.
-Pick a trail, neighbourhood, conservation area, new attraction etc that you have always wanted to explore.
-Use either a bike, or go on foot and spend at least three hours wandering to, from and around the chosen location.
Last weekend I spent three hours out on my bike. First my boyfriend and I hit up the Leslie Street Spit. We biked from home, right to the lighthouse and back. Then we cycled over to the beaches, where the Jazz Festival was taking place. We grabbed a drink, took a break, and headed back home.
This weekend we plan on checking out the Wavedeck, a new attraction in Toronto.
If you live in Toronto and need suggestions I'll list a few:
-Don Valley Trail
-Rouge Valley Park
-Scarborough Bluffs
-Harbourfront
-High Park
Be sure to stop for lunch or coffee! A local adventure is suppose to be about getting healthy, while having a fun and relaxing time!
Get Out There!
