Default Pics from July 16 ride

Went to the Fundy Trail Parkway. This place is virtually a biker's paradise (except for the fact that it is a tourist attraction - but there wasn't much traffic there!). Every set of turns is posted at 30 km/h, go through one corner, straighten up and immediately head into the next one - there are generally four or more turns through each set of corners. There is one that is a bit tricky though - its a decreasing radius turn, don't want to be getting into that one too fast! There is one corner that is posted 10 km/h (I have included a picture of that one for your viewing pleasure).

All in all - awesome ride! Plus we had some entertainment provided by a little squirrel - it actually sat right beside my foot!

Enjoy!

Nice pics, looks like a good ride. Yea your right about those decreasing radius turns, roll on to quickly and you can ride right off the road. Checked out the www and looks like one hell of a nice place.

That place is amazing! It is so peaceful in there - I'm surprised that more local people don't visit it. I plan on taking my daughter there this year, I think she'll love it.

The best part is that the roads are in awesome shape as they close the place up in the winter. Its nice to not have to worry about pot holes, there is a a little bit of gravel though, but not much.

Hey thank your luck stars that it is not crowded, here in Cali there is a state park called Yosemite, you may have heard, It is a wonderful place as well. But in the main valley area there are so many people it all most spoils it, there is even cellular service now. WTF.

You have to go to some of the more remote areas to get away from the crowds; it is still a great place to visit and I plan on being there next summer for a week.

Most tourist places around here aren't usually that busy. Really, who wants to visit this place - doesn't seem like too many people want to - but thats just fine by me, at least that way I get to enjoy it. Its kind of nice having things that way, like I said before, things are pretty laid back around here!

I've heard of Yosemite - that is crazy though - cellular service - for cripes sake, can't anyone go without all that darn crap for a day or two?!?!?!
