Hello,

My partner and I are looking to do a 2 week bike trip this summer. We're located in Toronto and don't want to have to travel too far afield, so we're thinking about somewhere in the east. We're also looking for something not too challenging, where we probably do 50-60km a day and have a few rest days along the way. We would be camping for the most part.

Our current leading option is to do a trip in the Canadian maritimes: flying into Moncton and biking 2 days to the confederation bridge to PEI; shuttling across the bridge and biking 2 days to the ferry to Nova Scotia; and then biking along the Nova Scotia north shore into Cape Breton, where we would do the Cabot Trail clockwise before heading to Sydney to fly back out.

I'm interested in hearing from anyone with much experience cycling in the maritimes about what it's like. How are the conditions? The elevation? From what I can tell from research, the cabot trail is the only tough part, and it's worth it. Also, what about the camping? The sightseeing - where should we plan to stop? Any advice from the east-coasters is much appreciated .

Finally, we've not yet booked anything, so while we think we might have a solid route lined up, we're open to alternative suggestions of where to go for a tour if anyone has any.

Thanks all!
