Riders will experience breathtaking views of the Atlantic Coast as they ride through the coastal fishing communities of Larry’s River, Charlos Cove, Port Felix, Hazel Hill and historic Canso. The loop concludes with a ride back into Guysborough along Highway 16. Take in the views of Chedabucto Bay as you push to the finish line. The loop includes five rest stops operated by local volunteers who will keep you nourished and hydrated as well as cheer you on along the way.
