Mountain Biking in Newfoundland

Newfoundland's remoteness, rugged terrain and inclement weather can be a challenge for visitors, especially of the cycling persuasion. However, those hardy souls who meet that challenge will find the rugged beauty of the island makes for a rewarding experience. When cycling around Newfoundland bear in mind that the distances between towns that offer services is often quite far, so be prepared with food and a tent when cycling. A major advantage for those who want to cycle across Newfoundland is that there are two ferries routes connecting the island to Cape Breton. One serves the east end of the island and one the west, eliminating the need for cyclists to retrace their route.
