[2bikemike]

Mike, if you need any local info around the maps and travel times please either post here, PM or use saltyfogriders@gmail.com ...... I'll answer to them all. If you are in Penn in July we will also be able to speak more extensively about options and such. Glad that you are a) interested in Nova Scotia and b) that you are interested in the Salty Fog Riders Rally. (of course that goes for anyone else interested!) - Bob

Thanks Bob. I will be at this years rally in Pa. In the mean time I'll be looking at maps and such to try and get a plan in place for Cape Breton. I've been wanting to go for the last four years but it hasn't worked out. Let's hope this is the year.

Had a great time at the 2010 rally. Great group of friendly people,
made me feel very welcome to join the group.
Each day was a combination of riding, eating and relaxing, in a
beautiful area.
Does not get much better.
Highly recommend putting this on your calander if you can make it.
Unfortunatly I will be back in school by then, but wish I could attend
Have Fun

Jim, your exceptional skills at quantity-campsite-food-prep was a special treat for us all! As soon as I get a little Trip Report assembled it will surely have a picture or more of you as chef. - Bob

I have been on two Salty Fog Rallys and in 2010 my SO came along. This was Cris's first extended motorcycle trip and she did great! We all had a great time even with the bridge wash out at Meat Cove. We will go again and add some more areas to visit in Canada. See you at Bloomsburg!

Maybe we all can have a Salty Fog alumni gathering in Bloomsburg. We will be bringing information for those interested in the rally in particular or just info about Nova Scotia generally. - Bob

Do you still have room for another 2up?

Do you still have room for another 2up?

always. In fact this year we have built a two story 24x28 barn which will be a real asset in many ways. We are revising a few particulars regarding the entire ride and base camp (Larry's River) arrangements and we will be posting in the very near future. In the meantime, the link below (sig) gives you a very good idea of what to expect.

We will be in Bloomsburg so just look for the large LL Bean tent with a Salty Fog Riders banner. The email saltyfogriders@gmail.com is available for direct contact. Stay tuned! - Bob

Today we have just secured a KOA, the only one on Cape Breton Island, for the cost of $10 per person. This is now our fourth excellent location for camping and gathering! Spectacular view of the Bras d'Or Lakes and at the foot of that 'snake to the sky' Kelly's Mountain. You can visit their site at: http://koansct.com/English%20index.htm

More info coming now so stay tuned! We will be in Bloomsburg and be available for questions and have some info and maps..... just look for the Salty Fog Riders banner. - Bob

I seem to be getting there every other year, so 2011 should be a GO!

Countdown to the Salty Fog Riders Rally 2011 ! In three months we roll. Covering 500 beautiful miles from the Larry's River 'mainland' home base and onward around majestic Cape Breton Island. And, if the Weather Gods are with us, a feast for the camera's eye awaits. Outside of camping in the bushes somewhere, there is no cheaper and informative way for you to do this tour. Hospitality and good times are a sure thing!

This year will be a pre registration. Thus far Texas is the farthest participant distance!

I will be posting more info as time goes on. If you can't make it for our event then please feel free to use any information provided and/or PM me for some specific info that you are seeking.

This year we have an early arrival day (with food and lodging) plus an indoor facility for bedroll and bike maintenance (as required) due to a new barn that we are building at the Larry's River Base Camp.

For now though, some starting info.
