I was out eastern Canada last summer ( I have family out that way ) and came across what they call the Wharf rat rally held Aug. 29 to Sept. 3 this year.
Located in Digby Nova Scotia.
Appearantly they had 80,000 antendees last year and it was a huge success and Atlantic Canada's largest bike rally.
I'm making plans now to attend, maybe hit the cabot trail and the bay of Fundy trail while out there.
Also, I know a 30 mile stretch of paved county road twisties I use as a short cut to Digby after crossing to Nova Scotia that I have always wanted to ride.
I may some day, I have heard good things about it, but I usually head to Nova Scotia end of July early August, mornings can get pretty cool after that, I really enjoy the ferry ride to Digby. There is Atlanticade as well, in P.E.I this year, But between, ride for sight, Rosie's Rodeo & Roast, and Cow Paddy's, It's getting hard to do every bike event that comes up, without leaving the province to do more, man we need a longer summer!

I haven't been to any events yet, I just got my bike in the fall. They do look like fun though.
My brother and I are going to Atlanticade this year in PEI. My Mom grew up in Moncton and we have a few hundred cousins to visit!! LOL I will have to check on this one also. I need to work on my riding plan for next year and would love to do Nova Scotia on my bike. Let me know if any of you are going to atlanticade, a few of us are already going to meet for a beer and maybe a ride.
