Cabot Trail - 2011

Riding the Cabot Trail is one thing, deciding which way to ride it is another! After riding it both ways numerous times, I do lean towards counterclockwise because you follow the coast more and I find the views a little more spectacular. There is NOTHING wrong with riding the Cabot Trail clockwise and if you have the time, I suggest you ride it both ways! There are some great views clockwise as well and some find clockwise better than counterclockwise. It really is a matter of opinion! Either way the Cabot Trail will be an enjoyable ride! In future, I will talk about some side trips that should not be missed while riding the Cabot Trail.

Cheers!

Cabot Trail Motorcycle Retreat

The Cabot Trail – a great ride, great scenery but preparation for a great and safe ride is paramount. Here I will discuss my thoughts on the Cabot Trail and other rides in Cape Breton as there are many! Cape Breton is blessed with many scenic roads, not to mention “off-road” adventures! If you have questions, want to contribute to the discussion, this is the place!

The Cabot Trail is approx. 300 KM in length. One of the questions we get asked here at the Cabot Trail Motorcycle Retreat is how long will it take to ride. We like to tell our guests between 6-8 hours. Some riders will do it faster, some slower, but if you give yourself a day to ride it, you won’t be rushed and you will be able to soak all that the Cabot Trail has to offer.
