Day 11: Stellarton to Whycocomagh

Distance: 161.6km
Total distance: 1137.6km
Average Speed: 22.5km
Weather: sunny 

Late yesterday, we found the best park in Stellarton and ended up “camping” there for the night, celebrating with radlers and cheesecake! There was even bathrooms with running water that were open all night!

Today was another big day! We pushed hard and stayed pretty much exclusively on the Trans Canada, stopping only 3 times just outside Antigonish, in Port Hastings and our stop for the night in Whycocomagh (a native community in the middle of Cape Breton). The highway on the main side of Nova Scotia wasn’t the best for riding especially since there was a lot of construction (if we had more time we would have definitely taken a different route!), so crossing the Canso Causeway onto Cape Breton was a great relief. Cape Breton was much quieter and more scenic, and I will certainly have to come back to explore the Cabot Trail!
