August 19; 108km 896M vertical; warm and sunny

Blue Mills to North Sydney
Our last day in Nova Scotia and it was beautiful. Sunny and a lovely ride through the Bras D’Or lakes. By 9:30 we were on the road and we had to ride 12km to Wycocomagh for breakfast. Then we left the trans -Canada and went through Little Narrows and Big Narrows and took the 223 all the way to the ferry. The road was 25km shorter than the Trans-Canada and had very little traffic. With fantastic views and a very nice Highland Village Museum in Iona we made several photo stops and still rode into North Sydney at 4:30 pm. We picked up our ferry tickets first. The ferry terminal had a shower and a Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) tourist bureau, so got cleaned up, booked a motel in Robinson Bay and then went to the Laundromat and had supper while the clothes were getting clean. We still had time for tea at Tim Horton’s. We leave NS at 23:30 and arrive in Port aux-Basque at 6:00.
