The Weekend Warrior of the Cabot Trail

There is no ride like it on earth.

You’ll curse your way up those climbs and love every minute of it.

This epic 300km+ road ride adventure tests the mettle of any cyclist who partakes, but you’ll hardly notice. The route is a challenging one but perfectly reasonable for anyone who is prepared and takes their time. You’ll cruise up those hills with the knowledge that victory is soon at hand and your efforts are awarded with breathtaking views, delicious food, and the best company — other cyclists, taking on the same achievements as you are. Riders of any level can do this ride at their own pace, and feel nothing but jubilation as they reach the top.

Day 1: We start in the picturesque community of Baddeck. We’ll take the North-West route to Cheticamp, a 97km ride providing the easiest terrain along with some stunning views.

Day 2: After a relaxing evening we continue through Franco-Nouvelle Ecosse country and climb some of the more challenging but beautiful gradients of the ride. We’ll crest the Northern cape of the peninsula then turn south and spend an evening in Ingonish after a rousing 107km. This route includes the infamous North Mountain, West side. It may sound daunting, but provides some of the weekend’s most beautiful scenery as you take in the incomparable vistas of Cape Breton’s Highlands.

Day 3 is shorter, but no less rewarding. We’ll tackle Cape Smokey, with a thrilling rollercoaster through postcard-worthy coastal views before levelling out the revered Highlands. The final 87 Kilometres will be the sweetest moments of your life, as you and your bike ride off into the horizon and finish back in Baddeck.

At the end of the day, everyone will relax as you discuss the shared adventure. We’ll visit the Big Spruce Brewery and then grab some food at a spot of your choosing. You’ll leave the Cabot Trail with the feeling of accomplishment that comes from knowing you conquered a beast of a ride.

So… are you ready for the Cabot?
