Best Canadian Small Town

It's going to be June, and we may take our bikes. So a "base camp" with interesting stuff within 100 mile radius.

We'll stay about a week.

Eastern Canada is where we are thinking but we are open to ideas.

Well that rules out BC. There's great road riding loops and cool towns in BC.

I was thinking of Nelson, Golden, Revelstoke etc but never mind.

How about Banff?

Or even Penticton area (BC again), between the lakes, lots of riding in area, orchards, uphill to ski area (fun downhill), etc. But I guess I'm biased, it's where I lived two different times, and met my DH and vacationed every summer for about 16 years :-)

Ah, BC looks so beautiful.
It's the flying thing... he doesn't fly well.
But I'll show him some of these links...

If you want rural and outdoorsy, Cape Breton is fabulous. Plenty of small towns to choose from, and it's gorgeous.

Eastern Townships? Little towns like Magog and others offer all the amenities and there is really great riding to do around there.

It's not in Canada, of course, but Vermont... Oh, Vermont! *sigh*
