Have you ever wondered what happens to the familiar streets of Toronto when they leave the city behind? Road Trip brings you along for a ride to the very end of the street, exploring the sights along the way and finding what makes each road unique.
Hmm, it looks like the Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park has cycling facilities. Tempting. Maybe on the way back. (Val Dodge/Torontoist)

the Pacific Mall beckons with promises of hot deals on all manner of items boxing-day-like parking lot traffic, year round.
That's been my experience, and I haven't been there since 2006...
Great idea for a post. So often living in Toronto we forget that just outside our big city is a beautiful landscape we can explore. Hope you had a nice ride across Kennedy Road! Thanks for the photos!

Ok sorry don't get this. You started at Kennedy and Eglinton to promote the beauty of streets outside the GTA? Bad start.
"Who said that suburbia isn't beautiful?" I do, Kennedy is this ugliest street this side of hell. There is little beauty in suburban roadways no matter how far out you drive.
Sorry for the down post but really, suburbia is ugly, I got out, thank God.
I like this feature, it has great pics and interesting commentary.
I used to live a mile and a half from Colty Corners as a kid, there are a few one room schools in the area. The one I went to was on the 5th (now called Warden) and it's now been renovated into a nice home.
This feature is awesome. It makes me feel adventurous.
I don't think that marccram got the sarcasm of "Who said that suburbia isn't beautiful? Just look at that view." and the accompanying photo!
Great feature - I think I'll take my camera and notebook along on my next ride out of the City.
Gorgeous scenery! I had never thought about "sod farms" before, but I guess it has to come from somewhere.
A Road Trip from Yonge St. to Rainy River would probably be far too great an undertaking, wouldn't it? (Yes, I know Yonge St. actually stops far short of that. But it's too good a record to waste...)
Oh I got the sarcasm, but once you get past the ugly suburbia, it's not really suburbia is it? It's what is suppose to be protected under the Green Belt. Hopefully it will be, it allows us to breath. Unfortunately every inch (centimetre) needs to be protected from the those who think it has another better use.
