| 1000 great miles!
Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia
Love to bike? Can't decide whether to bike in
beautiful green Vermont, or through the valleys of the majestic White
Mountains in New Hampshire, or along the inlets and coves of the Maine
coast, or through the quaint fishing villages of Nova Scotia? Why not see
it all! Four states and two Canadian provinces! |
 |
| Your group will cycle 1000 miles, averaging 55 miles a day. Some days will be less, some a bit more - but you can
plan on doing 50-60 miles a day. The biking is not extremely difficult or
mountainous; there's just a lot of it! The terrain is generally moderate,
with only a couple of harder days. Most of the route is the same as other SHP groups use - just
going at a faster pace, cycling every day. Your group's biking goal is to
reach 1000 miles somewhere near Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, before ferrying
back to Maine for a victory dinner (most groups actually do about 1015
miles, stopping at the magic 1000 mile spot to write a victory message in
chalk on the road - and to brag to anyone who happens to walk
by). |
 |
| You won't miss out on all the
activities that make a bike trip so fun and special, either - there will
still be time to swim, play frisbee, and roast marshmallows over the
campfire. You can stop to pet a cow's velvety nose in Vermont, wade in
cool mountain streams in New Hampshire, and swim in the ocean in Nova
Scotia. Your group will eat lunch on a wharf in a picturesque fishing
village in Maine, and beachcomb in tidal pools on the Bay of Fundy in Nova
Scotia. You'll even get 3 ferry
rides (from Campobello to Deer Isle, from St. John, New Brunswick to Digby, Nova Scotia, and from Yarmouth, Nova Scotia to Portland, Maine. A very exciting trip! |
