New Glasgow to Antigonish
On the road by 8:10 as far as the grocery store which was the wrong direction for our ride. Stocked up and on the road 'for real' by 8:55. Today's ride took us entirely on the Trans Canada. It was quite a nice ride despite the heat and we benefited from a decent tail wind. (Nice after yesterday)!!!
The scenery was quite nice with trees of every shade of green imaginable. We had numerous long gradual climbs followed by some long downhills. We rode through a beautiful section of countryside where we wound our way through hills along a stream. As picturesque as we have seen for a while.
We are camping in Antigonish at Whiddens Campground and Cottages in the downtown of the city.
P.S. Nova Scotia drivers are vying for the 'title of most unfriendly to cyclists'. Yesterday we had a couple of 'boneheaded' moves as we were proceeding around a traffic circle and again today we had someone pass while meeting us. I guess we are 'invisible' in Nova Scotian's eyes. Hope that improves!!!
