Here is a map of the GPS track. When I turned onto the 340 it still tracked the route.

Weymouth to Yarmouth Rail bed
It was nice again today so I drove to Weymouth to pick up the rail bed and take it Yarmouth. I didn't go all the way to Yarmouth but very close. I stopped where the 340 crossed the rail bed.
Here is a map of the GPS track. When I turned onto the 340 it still tracked the route.

French Shore (Clare)
Was a very nice day and I thought I should go for a ride. Not very long but was nice to get out and go for a ride. The weather was warm and the sky was blue. The wind was quite strong at times but it wasn't too much of a factor when riding.
Here is a look at the map of where I went today. Not a long route but there are some nice things to see and it's always fun to ride along the water like that on a warm day.

Liverpool and Bridgewater
So a nice day was forecast and I had a day off. So I figured I would go over towards the opposite shore and explore some coastline I have not had the chance to see yet. So I went towards Liverpool and then Bridgewater. Taking in the shore. Here is a look at the route. (Click pics for larger versions)
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.

March 21, 2012 South Shore
It was such a nice day that I had to go for a ride. I wore my rain pants and wore a fleece against the cold, but soon was too hot and took them off. Which was odd since this time last year I was freezing my ass off and the rides were not that much fun. But today was amazing and it was so warm that the wind was warm.
Here is a map of the route. I have been to Shelburne before but never taken the 203 and I wanted to see what it was like. Not really exciting, and not in great shape at all!!

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!!

Digby neck and Islands
It was a very nice warm day and sunny without any clouds so I figured it was a good time to go for a run "down the neck". So off I went after grabbing my camera.
Here is a screen shot of the route.

New France
A few of the folks decided to ride to New France. It is an old community behind Weymouth,NS. They used to have electricity that powered a sawmill and the small community that surrounded it.

The French Shore
Well once I had my motorcycle I figured I may as well ride it!! So where to go. Well since I am from South West Nova, I figured a good place to go would be the French shore area. I have heard it was scenic and was not disappointed.
So here is a link to the route. Google Map
Along the 101. After Digby the 101 is not controlled access anymore and there are homes and driveways all along it. There is a nice spot in Gilbert's Cove that is very nice and there is an old lighthouse on the point that you must see. They have also put in a tea room and some old pictures of the local area way back when.
The above photo was taken across the small bay in Gilbert's Cove. The lighthouse is way in the background here.
