Sunday July 22 2011 Hostel to North Sydney for the ferry to Newfoundland 92 km I was'nt entirely sure if I would visit Newfoundland or not, after the Cabot Trail, I thought about it more and figured I was so close, so may as well. I planned on a few days exploring Gros Morne National Park, but...

Sat. July 23 2011 The Cabot Trail, from the hostel and back, 423 km What a day! The Trail was everything I hoped it would be, stunning. I was a little concerned that it would be crowded since it was a Saturday, it was'nt, and the weather was too good not to do it today. I've been very lucky...

Met a guy at the hostel who rode from Vancouver on his sportbike with full camping gear, laptop, video gear, and ALL the other stuff you gotta take, had to respect that. He was on his way to St. Johns NFLND, and hoped to work in the motorcycle biz. From one coast to another. We swapped stories...

25 days, Toronto to NFLND and back. There were a few days when I did'nt ride at all. Averaged around 400 kms a day, so not very agressive, taking mainly secondary routes. I would hit the road around 9 or 10 am and ride till I was tired or before the sun went down. I'm sure you could do it in a...

Tues. July 12/11, Leaving Toronto for the East Coast through the States. 300 km I'd packed the bike the day before and felt OK with it. I had all the camping gear wrapped up in a bike cover & held with bungees on the passenger seat, but I was'nt convinced it was a good idea, I'm not a big fan...
