Tour
23 Noel Shore
Distance: 214 km (127 miles)
Starting Point:
Windsor; Truro; Brooklyn
Region: Central
Nova Scotia
Terrain: Very Hilly
Easy- that's
how you would describe your task of
finding the most notable feature of
this region. Here flow the largest tides
in the world, rising to a height of
14 meters (42 feet)! A land of magic,
mystery, and legend, the Noel Shore
follows old shipbuilding ports, horse
stables, poultry farms, and quiet cliff-lined
shores. There are a number of fair-sized
hills.
Called the Glooscap Trail, after the
Mic Mac god, this unknown route is a
tour outlined in the Nova Scotia
Bicycle Book . It runs between Truro
and Windsor. A good return route is
suggested, to allow a loop tour from
either direction. There is also an abandoned
train right-of-way for off-road riding.
