MAY 28

Took a ride down to the Annapolis Valley to see if any apple blossoms were out. It's been cold and not very warm so weren't sure if they were late or not.

 The blossoms were out and almost fully blossomed. There are a few to open yet as you can see here.

Victoria Beach

The weather forecast was promising so I decided to go for a short ride around to Victoria Beach. Yes I have been there before but it's still a great ride with almost no-one else on the road and great views of the water and foliage.

I didn't stop at Port Royal but make sure you do if you come along this way. It's a great little spot and has a ton of history to offer and some great views as well. I'll add some later as I have been there before and I like it a lot.
Also check out Port Royal on Wikipedia.

But just up the road is an old area of settlement called Melanson Settlement, worth a stop to stretch your legs and to look out over the water. No buildings or anything like that but some interesting sign boards that tell you what used to be there. If you are interested in that stuff it's interesting..if not then skip it.
There are outdoor toilets here if you really need to use them.

2011 June ride with the brother

I just realized I missed this small ride with my brother!! Not sure why but hey better late than never. It's a nice area that I haven't put any photos up here yet.
Anyway we wanted to go for a small ride so off  we went around the Canning area and the back of the valley behind Coldbrook etc. The 221 was the road taken. Also Cape Split and Scott's Bay on another occasion.
So here are a few pics of where we went.
First stop was down Ross Creek road. It was slick with mud and water on the dirt road. mind you neither one of us had a lot of experience riding greasy dirt roads so we were a bit timid driving up and down the road. A more seasoned rider wouldn't even blink I suppose.

That is the view from the end of the road looking towards Cape Split. That's the 'bro and his Suzuki 650 DR. It's no KLR but hey we all can't ride KLR's!!

2012 Riding Season

So a wonderful day was finally here and it was warm enough to get out and not freeze to death on the bike. So a short run was in order on the KLR650.  The sun was shining and it was around 8 degrees Celsius.  Cool in the shade and warm in the sunshine type of spring day. (Click on the pics for larger versions)
Here is a look at the route.

Not a long ride but it was nice to get out and shake off the cobwebs!!
