Shall we go a-Frolic-ing

Are you going to the Frolic this weekend in Toronto?  Can’t say it’s bad weather this year.  But there may be some issues with the Don Valley Parkway.  I got this info from Joan Kass – I hope it helps. 


If you are heading east on the 401 from places like Ohio, Michigan, Sarnia, Windsor, London, Guelph, Missisauga etc.
Take the Leslie Street Exit (there is only one for both northbound and southbound traffic).  You will come to a stoplight immediately.  At this stoplight go straight ahead (DO NOT TURN LEFT OR RIGHT). 

You will end up on Lesmill Rd.  Stay in the left lane on Lesmill and it will become a left turn lane that leads you to make a left turn at Duncan Mill Rd.

Go straight along Duncan Mill Rd until you hit the traffic light at Don Mills Road.

Turn right so you are heading south on Don Mills Rd.

You will pass the following major intersections:  York Mills and Lawrence Ave.

After you pass Lawrence Avenue, you will go south 4 traffic lights (I am pretty sure it is 4) and turn left onto Wynford Drive.  There is an Esso Gas Station on the corner of Wynford Drive and Don Mills Road.

Go east along Wynford Drive past the first traffic light and watch for Garamond Court on your left.

Turn left onto Garamond Court and the JCCC is almost immediately on your left.

If you are coming south on the 404:

Take the Sheppard Exit.
Go west on Sheppard to Don Mills Rd (2nd traffic light).
Turn left at Don Mills Rd so you are heading south.
You will pass the following major intersections:  York Mills and Lawrence Ave.

After you pass Lawrence Avenue, you will go south 4 traffic lights (I am pretty sure it is 4) and turn left onto Wynford Drive.  There is an Esso Gas Station on the corner of Wynford Drive and Don Mills Road.

Go east along Wynford Drive past the first traffic light and watch for Garamond Court on your left.

Turn left onto Garamond Court and the JCCC is almost immediately on your left.

If you are coming from the South (downtown etc):Go north until you get to Eglinton.

Take Eglinton to Don Mills Rd.

Go north on Don Mills Rd to Wynford Drive.
(There is an Esso Gas Station on this corner)

Go east along Wynford Drive past the first traffic light and then watch for Garamond Court on your left hand side.

Go north on Garamond Court and the JCCC is almost immediately on your left.

You gotta love him

Everyone meet Tom.  tom-his-toy.jpg  He’s getting ready for a bike trip with a bunch of guys to Florida next month.  At one of the bike shows he went to over the winter while suffering PMS (Parked Motorcyle Syndrome) he bought this little camera.  It has a variety of mounts to attach to about 4 different spots on the bike and on his helmet.  YES, I said on his helmet.  And of course he should test it before he goes.  So here he is in all his happiness

Koigu – mmmm

Lynne and I had a lovely day on Monday.  We drove up to Durham and picked up a fresh supply of Koigu.
