Going Coastal

My last few days have been the best riding days since Cape Breton. I left Halifax 2 days ago and when I arrived at Barrington, I slipped onto NS #3 and rode up the coast to Yarmouth. That was a nice change from the busy port towns near Halifax. The next day saw rain, but I went ahead and took NS #1 following the coastline. Yeah, it was raining but it was a gentle, warm rain and the country road was all mine. By the time the rain had stopped, I’d landed in smooth and curving country lanes. This is biker country. Not quite as busy as the south side but definitely attractive to a 2-wheeler. Stayed on #1 all the way to Windsor and after negotiating a few changes, I took secondary Hwy 215. What a beauty. It continued to follow the Bay of Fundy to Truro where I swung to Hwy #2 so I could hug Fundy some more along her north side. This was even more enjoyable.

I’ve been hard on her, but I give credit where credit is due. The contrast of colours of red mud from the Fundy’s receding tide, notably the highest in the world, lush greenery in the Annapolis valley, and fresh blacktop all combined to serve me a 5-star helping of fun. Follow Fundy if you’re biking. You won’t regret it.
