There is a group pick-up at the Halifax airport around 9:00am. (If you arrive earlier we’ll pick you up at your hotel in Halifax at 9:30am.) You’ll be escorted by private van to Hubbards, where we will get your bike fitted for the week ahead. Once familiar with your bikes and any adjustments have been completed, we will head off around the Aspotogan Peninsula enroute to the Western Shore.

Day Two — 44 km / 27 mi (easy to moderate)

After breakfast, we cycle into the town of Chester. Once here, we will park the bikes and explore the quaint town and enjoy a wonderful lunch before making our way back to our hotel to relax. Tonight’s dinner will be at a local seaside restaurant.

Day Three — 46 km / 29 mi (easy to moderate)

Today, the ride is off the beaten path — cycling the quiet country roads through Indian Point and Mahone Bay. Your destination is Lunenburg, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where you will hang your helmet for the next two evenings. First settled in 1753, the town has many historic buildings and homes, and the home port of the famous ‘Bluenose Schooner’. Once settled in our comfortable inn, you are free to explore this quaint seaside town.

Day Four — Kayaking with cycling option 16 km / 10 mi (easy)

We will shuttle you to the scenic fishing village of Blue Rocks for a morning of sea kayaking. Even the novice kayaker will enjoy the beauty of the coastline and numerous islands as enjoyed from the water. Those who want to get a ride in can cycle a 15km/9.5mi route. This day will leave you with plenty of time afterwards to explore Lunenburg, considered the best surviving example of a British colonial settlement in North America. Established in 1753, it has retained its original layout and overall appearance, based on a rectangular grid pattern drawn up in the old country.

Day Five — 97.5 km / 61 mi (moderate to challenging)
(For those who may feel the burn today, jump in the SAG Wagon at any time)

Back on our bicycles, we make our way to Summerville Center — the week’s final destination. You will take a scenic ride on one of the last existing cable ferries to La Have and stop at the La Have Bakery for an incredible lunch. In the afternoon, you will continue on to Crescent Beach, Mill Village and Liverpool before settling in to your lodge for the night. Time permitting, stroll the beach or have a quick dip before dinner.

Day Six — 24.8 km / 15 mi (easy)

After breakfast, we saddle up our bikes once more for our final ride out to South West Port Mouton. An easy out and bike ride that will take us past Carters Beach where those that wish can stop for a quick stroll or even a quick dip if you wish. Those that prefer a more relaxing morning can stay back and enjoy Summerville Beach. Once back from the ride, we will load up the van and trailer to begin making our way back to Halifax. Along the route, we will stop at the unique Cosby’s Gardens (an easy walk featuring incredibly unique sculptures) before making our way to the Airport and downtown Halifax.
