Tour Atlantic - Itinerary
Riders for Tour Atlantic meet in Halifax, Nova Scotia. We encourage participants arrive a few days early to explore this historic port city.
There will be an orientation session on the Friday and our first riding day is Saturday
From Halifax we follow the south shore of Nova Scotia through Peggy's Cove and Lunenburg. In Lunenburg you may be lucky to see the Bluenose II. From here, it's across the province to the Annapolis Valley, and then to Digby and the ferry across to the Bay of Fundy. From Saint John, New Brunswick we follow a long coastal inlet in the Saint John River basin. There is a choice of routes from Sussex to Moncton and riders can go overland or on a coastal side trip through Fundy National Park and past the Hopewell Roacks. There is a rest day in Moncton. From Moncton we go by the Big Lobster in Shediac on the way to the Confederation Bridge.
Our route in Prince Edward Island takes us first to the bustlng town of Summerside and then along a coastal route through Cavendish to see the Anne of Green Gables cottage. From Charlottetown we go to Wood Island to catch a ferry to Nova Scotia.
Back in Nova Scotia we stay in Pictou where riders can see a recreaton of the Hector, a sailing ship that brough Scottish immigrants to the new world. We will then follow the historic Shubenacadie Canal route to return to Halifax.
