Nova Scotia,Canada- beautiful

[ridebikeme]

I agree with you totally!!! Nova Scotia is beautiful!! I work for a touring company that has a scheduled bike tour there each year, and although I have been doing it for 15 years, I look forward to it each year. Beautiful area, warm wonderful people, and the weather can be everything from heat, wind, fog and simply gorgeous. We travel from Yarmouth to approximately 100 miles south of Halifax and back to Yarmouth. At some point, I will definitely ride the other areas that I have missed as well.

thanks! I contacted "bike nova scotia" web site, and nearly immediately received a reply. Apparently there is a good book on touring the area. He told me the roads were rural mostly and bike friendly. He said the best time is June 15 to Sept 15 -ish. I am planning ridiculously early for next year, or .... maybe I can go early this fall. If I go this fall, I won't be able to spend as much time as I would like... It just sounds great! I'm so excited. So, how long was the train ride from Toronto? Maybe we could just drive through Montana into Canada and take the train x country to Nova Scotia... that would be beautiful! How does it work with bikes on trains?
Thanks again for the great post!

one more thing... I contacted that web site as I mentioned in my previous post. From that web site (if anyone else is interested in touring Nova Scotia), you can order a book: Nova Scotia by bicycle by Walton Watt. It looks really good.
