    Hi,
    Just bought my first bike as I've signed up for Lejog in September. Its a road bike with clipless pedals so Im looking for off road places to start my training to get used to the bike and to minimise the danger whilst I get used to clipless pedals!

    Ive got copies of the spokes maps but these dont really tell you which routes are suitable for skinny tyres. Can anyone give me a link/let me know which of the off road routes are suitable for road bikes/should be avoided? I live near Dundas st so particularly interested in the North of the city to start with.

    Thanks!

    Turn right into Eyre Place right into the park, left, left, through The Tunnel.

    Explore. (all tarmac for MILES).
