50km to Whitby

I skated out to Marty's 50th Birthday party out in Whitby.

Total mileage came out to 50.13km and it took about 3 hours from my front door to Marty's place. I took a long stop along the Danforth because it was Taste of the Danforth.

For the most part it was a very good skate with extremely good pavement. Bloor street to the Danforth was pretty rough with sand and gravel and tar snakes. Hopefully they will repave soon. It used to be a much better bike lane. Danforth was excellent and I would love to skate it again early on a Sunday when there is even less traffic. Not much cars on a Sunday anyways with Taste of the Danforth, and very smooth. Kingston Road/Hwy2 was also very good with three lanes and very wide space, until before Pickering and then traffic started to get a bit unruly and there were periods of bad tar. Some intense hills as well. Pretty smooth pavement for most of the way and then at Brock I cut up to Rossland which had a great paved sidewalk/bike lane until just prior to Whitby where it cut down to one lane and traffic started to get a bit difficult again. Once it opened up to two lanes, things were fine again. Some great hills. I felt like the journey was pretty net-downhill.
