**Back by popular demand!** It's the Toronto Loops (and Mississauga) Cycling Routes. Well, people liked these when I posted them last year so anyway...

**NOTE: New link! Last year's link no longer works.**

If you're new here these are bike routes that string together park paths throughout Toronto (and Mississauga) connecting them using designated on-street bike paths wherever possible. The idea is to create looped rides so you can start and stop at the same location on routes that are as safe as possible for cycling. They range in length from 13 km up to 160 km (a Full Imperial Century - 100 miles). So, if you wanted to knock an Imperial Century ride off your bucket list, have at it!

It's mostly park paths connected together using on-street bike lanes or low traffic residential streets. In some areas higher traffic roads without cycling infrastructure are used because there just isn't any other option. I've kept those to a minimum but, on some routes, it can't be avoided.

The files are in GPX format and can be loaded on any bike computer or smartphone app that supports importing GPX files. Also included are maps with a short description of each route.

You can access the files using the link below that goes to my Dropbox directory. You don't need an account to download the files. If you've accessed these in the past note that the old link no longer works. Please use this new link.

If you have any questions or have any trouble accessing the files please post below. Note that Toronto's cycling infrastructure changes so I will update the files as routes change or I discover a better route. Please check the files for updated versions (compare the date stamp) before you you go out.

Also, if you would like to alter the files to customize them for yourself (alter the route or change the start/end point) you can use the [https://gpx.studio](https://gpx.studio) web site. That's what I used to create them.

Anyway, have fun and mind the other people sharing the trails with you.
