August 4 – Whycocomagh to North Sydney

Bike log: 99.9km, 860m of vertical, avg. speed 27.8 km/h

Well, this is about as far as you can go on the mainland! It is very exciting to be here, we sure feel like we are getting close! We are at the ferry terminal in North Sydney. We had a few hours to kill before the ferry left, so we explored North Sydney. It’s a small town, so it didn’t take long! However, it definitely had a maritime feel to it – including a real working harbour. We are looking forward to seeing a bit more of Nova Scotia, especially the coast, on our drive back.
