August 21 - Middleton to Lunenburg - 109 km

Before I forget - we've logged over 6300 km according to my GPS. This doesn't include the extra riding I do around the towns after we arrive. No wonder my cheeks are sore.

This segment was a right angle turn and head southeast across Nova Scotia. Not knowing what the terrain was going to be like, we were pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be surprisingly pleasant - a 200 meter climb out of the valley in the morning to Springfield, more or less rolling terrain across the plateau and then downhill to New Germany. The farmlands turned into pretty forest with small lakes.

We stopped in New Germany for lunch - I had a "Critter Burger." (You imagine what is was).

Onwards through Bridgeport and into Lunenburg. Since everybody has heard of this town, I'll just add some photos and not say much, except that I spent time on the Bluenose II and in the Atlantic Fisherman's Museum. The photos are the view from our room (Bluenose II roughly in the middle), a shot of the main street, and the Lunenburg academy (still used as a school)
