Armchair Tour - Page Ten - Labrador - Atlantic Canada Cycling

Labrador is a territory which is part of the island province of Newfoundland. It is, however, such a different world, that it gets a special mention.

The amount of bikable road is quite limited. Labrador is, most certainly, an area for adventurers. Experienced travellers, including many Europeans, select this huge sparsely populated territory for its immense distances, and challenges of the unknown.

A true frontier, new areas are slowly being opened up. Only a few thousand people live in Labrador, and with few roads, traditional road cycling is extremely limited.

With the advent of the mountain bike, unique new challenges have been made possible. There are two primary areas. The first is along the southern coast, through coastal aboriginal villages and supply posts. The other is a very long road, the "TLC", which crosses Labrador, on a continually developing road from Quebec to near the Atlantic.

The true biking possibilities are still to be determined.

The Newfoundland and Labrador Bicycle Page lists everything to do with cycling in the province.
