Perfect day for a longer bike ride

Just look at that sky full of summer clouds! The Simpsons sky, as brother-in-law Paul likes to observe.
Peter Bartosh inspired me to get back on my old bike and follow him down to Queen’s Quay. Pretty crowded right downtown, especially near the ferry to the Toronto Islands, but mostly a green, easy,open path ride. The east side waterfront is a mix of industrial activity, some parkland and a lot of seemingly vacant acres overgrown (very pleasantly) with weeds and native trees.
Along the way, I discovered a professional soccer pitch (two fields, actually), a place where motorcyclists take their ride tests, a Go-Kart track and a driving range with what appears to a drive-in movie screen(?). In short, there’s a lot going on down there that I had no idea about. A bike is really the best way to see it all.
