CFR 2011

[MEM]

It's 3am here in Chandler, Arizona and I am up planning for our visit to CFR; way too excited to sleep, thinking about our Canada M/C trip (maybe redhead nurses too!).

PM on its way to you, Papa!

Good morning, btw

The run from Fredericton to the midway point of the Cabot Trail (Ingoinsh) is a good 7-8 hour run with a few little stops along the way. I would recommend you stay at the Keltic Lodge https://kelticlodge.ca/. The beaches are very nice and good places to eat.

I will be leaving Fredericton early on the 23rd and heading back to at least New Glasgow or maybe even Antigonish. I would be happy to guide you along the most scenic route to that point.

Just a side note, I'm sure that Mike offers a shuttle service from the airport to the B&B.

Feel free to post up any questions, this is my playground.

heheh.. that first set of switchbacks are heart stoppers - even doing them CW.

Muchas gracias, Canadian FJR; we will take you up on the escort and I will ask Mike about the shuttle service, would be much more convenient for us.

Hi MEM,

You can count me it too. Haven't missed a CFR yet, so I don't want to break my winning streak.

Make sure to let the Premier know that you are having a rally with people coming from all over the continent and that he only has 6 months to repave all the roads. The eyes of the world are on New Brunswick now.

Like Mike, I, myself have not missed an CFR and don't want too. And yes about some fresh pavement.... that would be nice... and on some of them two lane roads!

Are Seth and I going to be riding Canada or Mexico? Roads Tom and Moosehead are describing sound like los Estados de Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon y San Luis Potosi!

Are there any good dance studios in the Fredericton area? I just love the fine arts.

https://www.tourismnewbrunswick.ca/VisitorsGuide.aspx Okay der Hosers, I've ordered up our New Brunswick 2011 Visitor's Guide. Won't get it until April, they said that they are out working on the roads; Beauty, Eh!

I am pleased to announce that my New Brunswick Carte Touristique Officielle - Official Travel Map arrived in today's mail here in Chandler; Excellent Service. The New Visitor's Guide still comes out in April.

Nice map with a great mileage table, only 219 miles from Truro, where we rent our FJR, to Fredericton. I see you have Indian Gaming Casinos, just like Arizona. Fredericton to Miramichi is just 112 miles away.

They said I would get it in 10-14 days and their roads are just fine, but they were heading to the bar! Oh Canada, What a Country! Beauty, Eh!

FWIW.... the roads here are NOT that bad. They're actually pretty damned good compared to some of the roads FJR riders have been on!

And Bungie gave a ringing endorsement of the TransCanada through NB - the equivalent of the US interstates (aargh) - it actually has some character and nice scenary.

Oh, and we have deer/ wildlife fencing :assassin:
