At the national in lake george some folks talked of heading east to Cape Breton next summer as a group. Here is a short vid from Harley with a few shots of the Cabot trail as a teaser. Click on maritime ride then the 3rd video.

I think it would make for a great event. Riding the Cabot Trail is just plain spectacular, and it would be nice to do it with someone who really knows the area.

Sue and I are in, and I'm pretty certain that Michael and Shanna would be in as well.

Cindy and I would be up for it also.
She would need a set date ahead of time to get the needed time of of course.

I think Tim and myself need several days head start. If I don't get another bike well will be trailering.

I planned a trip out there a couple years ago when Cindy expressed an interest in going there someday.
2600 miles round trip, hell we went 5000 on our trip to Colorado.
I had my Nomad and she had her 750 Honda Shadow.

I don't think I lost more than a couple of ounces of oil from that seal. When we got home I was a quart low . Its been using some oil before the rally. It has 74,+++ miles on it.

I'm sure we can figure out a date that works for all well in advance. I'll have to check my work schedule too.

The Cabot Trail would be an excellent ride, its absolutely beautiful there, Its a ride Ive always wanted to do on the bike. If I'm able I'll try to make that one next season.

Been quite awhile since we've seen you at a rally Steve, would be great to see you. When we get into discussions about dates let us know what would work for you. Only concern other than best time for best weather is last week of July, 1st week of August is construction holiday for Quebec. Not the best time for the trip as a good part of the Quebec population is on holidays and head out in all directions.

Sounds like a great trip. I'll try and make it. July is better for me.

Where abouts are you in Ontario? There may be other folks interested from Ontario as well. We some of us have been thinking is the idea behind this event is a rally that is not a rally as we know them. Getting there is half the fun and folks will meet and pick up others along the way. There may be possibly two main groups, ones from the US travelling through Maine and ones from Canada travelling through New Brunswick all meeting in Baddeck Cape Breton. No organized group rides except we all will want to ride the Cabot Trail. We will all stay at the same hotel in Baddeck and the emphasis will be more on socializing and do your own thing type riding or impromptu rides.

Hi Norm. I am two hours north of Toronto so may or may not end up being one of the farthest of the Canadian group. It looks like it is about 2100 km one way for me.

I like the idea of riding towards Cape Breton and meeting up with members as we travel along increasing the group as we go and then meeting up with those coming from the States. That sounds like a cool idea and a lot of fun. Of course the route will depend on who is coming and where the meeting points are.
