It will be a tour of mostly gentle terrain. There will be occasional small hills, but we for the most part follow the shoreline of New Brunswick's famed Saint John River. For more accomplished bicycle tourists, options will be available for longer daily routes. These will allow for taking in more of the province, while enjoying the event with others.

It's a big nine day tour. It takes in several different areas. We begin at the seaport city of Saint John, New Brunswick. Here the lengthy Saint John River empties into the Bay of Fundy. It is from here we begin following the river inland.

A winding route follows the river and its adjoining bays and lakes. We pass through a series of farming and market towns, some dating from early in Canadian history. Once we move further northward, the villages become more French-speaking. By the time we reach Edmundston, the Saint John is a far tamer river than we remember when started riding alongside it days before. Soon we reach near its origins, where it is no more than a creek.

We now find ourselves at the far extreme corner of Atlantic Canada. We are so close to Quebec that we have decided to push the tour onward, with two fun days in the province. The Saint Lawrence River is our goal and we will have a choice of a road or recreation trail to take us all the way from the New Brunswick border. At Riviere-du-Loup we rewind the tour with provided transportation back to the city of Saint John and our farewells.
