Ingonish Beach to Baddeck Part 2

After we left the road remained relatively relaxed with mainly rolling hills with a few little climbs sprinkled in to keep us working the rest of the day. We started to spend more time inland and the temperature started to rise as the sun came out. We were pretty fortunate with the weather the entire trip, with the exception of day 3, which in comparison was pretty gross. However it could have been torrential and I’m grateful we were so fortunate.

As we wiggled our way back to the shores of the inland lakes, the ocean was no longer visible, but that didn’t mean the views wouldn’t be amazing. There was several stunning spots and we stopped to take a few pictures along the way. When we hit the 80 km mark on our adventure, we were back on a main highway with shoulders big enough for us to ride comfortably at quicker speeds, in fact, our last 10 km lap was second to only our 3rd, which is a pretty amazing feat. We eventually turned off the main highway which would lead us back to Baddeck, “…the beginning and the end of the Cabot Trail.” As we inched closer to the end I tried my best to convince Cory to ride another few km to get us to 100 for the day, but he was having no part of it. 😆

We ended the day back at the Silver Dart Lodge, where we loaded up the car and changed into some clothes that didn’t have a padded bum next stop was the gas station for some fuel for the car and well earned junk food.

The plan for the evening is pizza and beer!!!Read more
