12 days, 5000+ km

We're now getting to the wire - 4 days until the trip.  Just some minor details need to be ironed out before we're on our way.  This trip in many ways is a must-do for any proper Canadian motorcycle rider (at least, those that are about more than posing with their bikes at their local Tim Horton's...).  It certainly has that "epic" feel to it and we're getting pretty excited.

The basic route we're taking is as follows (you can click the image to get to a larger one...):

East Coast 2009 Route

The details break down sort of like this:

  • Toronto to Gananoque
  • Crossing over into the US, making our way through the Adirondacks and arriving in Portland, ME
  • Taking the ferry to Yarmouth, NS
  • Riding along the southern coast of Nova Scotia into Cape Breton
  • Cruising the Cabot Trail in Cape Breton
  • Heading northwest along the Northumberland Strait through New Brunswick into Québec
  • Riding along the Gaspé coast
  • Eventually heading home southwest through Trois Rivières and into TO

Sorry to hear your first leg to Gananoque resulted in a soaking. :( Hope the rest of the trip can only get better ;)
