Larry and Mary-Sept 2011

Hi Bill, you weren’t home when I dropped off the bikes yesterday.  They worked flawlessly, and we made it all the way around fine.  Very difficult day Friday from Wreck Cove to Pleasant Bay.  The North Mountain was steep and long as we expected, but the WIND!  We only found out when we got to our B&B that it was part of Hurricane Maria.  Saturday was better, and yesterday was lovely.
We’re off to PEI today.  You made our trip work out, thanks again.  Larry

Gina and Michelle-Sept 2011

Coming from Colorado, Gina and Michelle rented touring bikes from us to travel around Cape Breton. No need for a rental car for these two. Gina sent us this note shortly after they finished conquering the Cabot Trail…

Just wanted to say thanks again for the great bikes & info on a great ride!! Two of us did the Cabot Trail self-supported, and rode out right from the shop. The grand narrows ride to start was awesome, but I can’t recommend starting at 2pm for the 100km… and us Colorado types have a new respect for mountains that are only 455m

Anne and Friends-July 2010

Thanks Bill! Sorry to not email you until now but I could not get Internet the other day. We got the bikes and successfully completed the ride. It was tough but so gorgeous and well worth the effort! The bikes held up great too. We are back at the Telegraph House in Baddeck. Thanks again!
