Truro to Halifax, Nova Scotia

Today I rode another metric century, and I reached the Atlantic Ocean in Halifax!

The morning began with eggs benedict in the Belgravia Bed & Breakfast's dining room.

After Highway 104 yesterday, today was secondary highway and back roads. This is Highway 2, the old primary highway to Halifax. Not a good shoulder, but not a big deal, because traffic was minimal. 

I had another gorgeous day and the scenery was lovely. 

I left Highway 2 at a place called Fall River, and ended up on some trails that were really not suitable for my outfit!

I had to push the bike through some of it. This was the underpass under Highway 102.

I rejoined paved road at Waverly, with about 20 kilometres more to go to Halifax. Here I was biking along Lake William and past cottages and it was really gorgeous riding, but I was enjoying it too much to take a picture!

After five kilometres more or so I was able to join the Shubie Trail, which would take me the rest of the way into Dartmouth. 

I got a bit lost in Dartmouth, trying to get onto the big Angus Macdonald bridge to get into Halifax itself. Eventually I found it.

Once off the bridge, I was able to bike a couple of kilometres down to the waterfront and to "I Heart Bikes," where I unloaded the bike and returned it. Time for a celebratory beer!
