The Cabot Trail is a 185-mile-long scenic drive around the northern part of Nova Scotia.
There are parts that have a 12% grade and one short section climbing French Mountain that is 17%. No wonder my 2007 journal said I pedaled at 2.3 mph.
There were many “look-offs” aka scenic viewpoints and I stopped at most of them. Many sections of the road were in disrepair or under construction with traffic delays. Slow-going! By early evening, I arrived in New Glasgow.
