The Cabot Trail - a must do adventure

 You may have guessed from the title that today was largely spent on the Cabot Trail, a place I have visited before but that I could not pass up as part of Retirement Rides 2025. When I left Antigonish this morning it was sunny and the temperature was a pleasant 17 degrees; but as I climbed further up on the Cabot Trail on the northern tip of Cape Breton the air became distinctly cooler dropping to 12 degrees. As I have explained in previous years posts, unlike a car that encapsulates you through space, on a motorcycle one is always in and part of the environment. As such a rider immediately feels changes in temperature and winds; and believe me, 12 is much colder than 17.

The well maintained winding roads and the views along the Cabot Trail are amazing.

And when it is time for lunch what could be better then a dozen freshly shucked oysters and some iced tea at the Rusty Anchor Restaurant where many bickers are stopped 

Tonight I am in an out of anywhere hotel in Sydney resting up for tomorrow’s next leg of the journey. See you soon!
