Our trip started here as we leave from the hotel.
Some of the great views as you drive around Cape Breton.
This was our starting point for the ride we did before the Highland Quest.
Trails were very well signed.
Out on the trails.
This trail was part of the trans Canada Trail.
Lots of riding beside scenic vistas.
Signs were in both English and Gaelic.
Lots of spots to stop and read about the area.
Riding in Cape Breton right along the coast, does it get any better then this!
Great view looking west from tower hill.
The sun goes down after a great ride along the coast.
While in Sydney a visit to the Miners Museum is a must.
The visit is very realistic. You go into a circa 1920's coal mine. Being 6'2" was fun when the mine is 5' tall!
Another must stop is Fortress Louisbourg. This is where we had lunch. It is like going back in time to what it was like back then.
Dan and Mark. You get one spoon for everything you eat. That's just the way it was done. Good looking bibs as well!
Goats at Louisbourg
Feathered friends as well.
This man was caught and charged with stealing a bottle of wine. As the french said "off with his head"! Oh we're too nice in Canada that was back at the homeland.
The coast by Louisbourg, bad weather moving in.
Sydney has a fiddle as large as the cruise ships that visit the city.
All this before we go out on the main reason we were visiting, the Highland Quest ride. More on that ride later.
