Bicyclists around the world know that Eastern Canada contains some of the finest bicycling routes to be found anywhere. Until know, though, there has been no single guidebook to tell them everything they need to know before visiting these world-class cycling destinations. The Best Bicycling tours of Eastern Canada presents twelve bike tours-two in each province-that high- light the region's extraordinary natural beauty while offering historical details and anecdotes about the people, places, and sights passed along the way. The routes selected include such well-known favorites as the Cabot trail in Cape Breton Island and the Thousand Islands Parkway in Ontario, as well as lesser-known but equally spectacular rides along the remote North Shore of lake Superior, the Fundy Coast of New Brunswick, and the Gaspe Peninsula in Quebec. Also featured is information on money, weather, equipment, clothing, food, safety, campgrounds, package bike tours, and much more. With twenty-one black-and white photographs and a selection of handsome maps.
