ATLANTIC CANADA MOTORCYCLE TRIP 2016

Trip Synopsis
This is a 29 day trip of Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland.  It is a combination of motorcycle and vehicle with a support trailer in tow (called the Albatross).  This combination allows for all weather operations and still maintains the spirit of a motorcycle adventure tour.  It also allows to ride on the Motorcycle on days when we are touring, ie two day stops.

The planning for this trip started in November of 2015 and the final design took well over 30 days to complete and book the required accommodations and ferry trips, etc..

Web Site
