Cape Breton is a mite bit more hilly than southern Nova Scotia. Though it sure looks pretty. A friend and I took the ferry from Portland Maine to Yarmouth and then circled around the lower portion passing through Kejimkujik National ParkAddress:which was a lot fun. About 50 miles a day. The 32 tooth front 28 tooth back was too big for some of the hills fully loaded with camping gear. I have also cycle around Prince Edward Island, just as beautiful, but a little more bucolic, and certainly flatter.
