Great places

Tonight, at the end of the fourth day of Retirement Rides 2025 I am in Antigonish Nove Scotia, some 1,575 kilometres from home. Today was a nicer day for riding because the temperature which had been well above 30 for the first three days was near a more comfortable 20 degrees. The traffic on the secondary highways I rode as soon as I crossed into Nova Scotia at Amherst was light and there was very little roadwork to slow me down. You’ve got to love a route that takes you through such great  places with names like Pugwash, Malagasy,Tatamagouche (my favourite), Pictou, and Merigomish; all these  before you arrive at the site of the 1861 Cape George Lighthouse  

with this panoramic view of part of the Northumberland Strait.



And here, just like on old postcards, are some fishing boats tied to the dock at the Toney River Harbour.



It’s now time to retire for the night. The odyssey continues in the morning
