2007 GWN Tour – Explore Canada’s Atlantic Provinces:
Registration for the 2007 GWN Tour will be open through July 19^th, 2007. Following three delightful tours throughout Ontario, the 2007 GWN Tour moves east to Nova Scotia, giving folks the opportunity to visit New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island enroute to Cape Breton and the Cabot Trail.

Our base for the four days will be the scenic village of Baddeck, located between the two entrances to the Trail. The "official" nights in Baddeck will be Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday with the banquet on the Wednesday evening. There is SO MUCH good riding on the way to Cape Breton that we're allowing for longer ride in and out times. A lap around the Cabot Trail is about 290 Km (180 miles). Prince Edward Island is about 430Km (270 miles) from Baddeck to the Island side of the bridge.

For those interested in exploring Newfoundland and Labrador, the ferry is a short 45 minute ride from our hotel in Baddeck.
