Take your bike on the GO Train east along Lake Ontario to cycle a great stretch of the Durham waterfront. Start your ride from the Whitby GO station close to the marina and waterfront, and head west (right at the Lake) to end your ride at the train in Ajax, Pickering, Rouge Hill or Guildwood – or vice versa (West to East). Recommended for all-aged riders.
