Eastern Shore

I really needed to get out and get on the bike. I find riding really clears the old noggin and it's really fun to visit and see new places in Nova Scotia. Even though some are not totally new, it might be that I have not spent much time there. My plan was to hit the Cabot trail in Cape Breton. I only made it Canso where a friend lives though.
Cape Breton seems close but if you ride like I do and want to take all the back roads and stop for pictures etc. It takes a long time to get there. Digby is the other side of the province and even on the slab it's a good 6 hours. More like 10-12 if you sight-see.

Anyway here are some photos of the ride. First is the route I took.

Digby-Advocate- Canso and home

I Had four days off so I wanted to get some travelling done. Hmmm where to go?? So I always wanted to ride the shore along Walton and Noel. I also had not been over to Parrsboro area either, plus once there what the hell...Eatonville sounds enticing!!

So I was already to go Saturday...RAIN. Yup that sucks a lot, well since I didn't have to really be anywhere at any time I delayed and left Sunday. Sunday dawned bright and sunny. AWESOME.
I brought along my air mattress and tent and some clothes and off I went.

This is the view off Falmouth which is about 2 hours from Digby..depending on you ride / drive I guess as well. The hay has been cut and baled here already. There are very high tides here and it exposes a lot of mud when it goes out.
