For those of you who live in or have biked thru New Foundland... I'm in the middle of my E. CAnada trip and have heard recently how hilly NF is. So I'm wondering if I get to a point that riding there isn't enjoyable, is there a bus I could hop on that goes to St. John's? If so, can it only be boarded at designated areas (like Irving)? Also, how much would it cost, say from Corner Brooking? Thanks.

I lived in Newfoundland for the first 16 years of my life, but I can't remember much about the bus service. I bet Tourism Newfoundland and Labrador can give you the information you need (a quick google search should find the website).
I've read a few travel journals from people who have biked across Newfoundland, and it seems like most had very positive experiences. Just remember that the summers are very short and the weather is unpredictable in general (for example, I remember a snowstorm in early June and 18C one Christmas Day). A calm day, especially near the ocean, is also a rare thing!
Good luck!
