About the event
Explore the Rails to Trails as we bike from Downtown Halifax to the Western Crown Lands (between Upper Tantallon and Pockwock). Once arrived, will be pitching tents in the woods and camping for the night!
This ride is anticipated to be roughly 40km one way (so 80 km over two days) primarily along HRM's amazing rail trail system. We will be camping in the Western Crown lands which is accessed from the rail trail via logging roads. Most of the route will be along flat and accessible terrain, but we recommend having some experience completing longer bike rides (30-50km). The logging road section of this route does include some elevation gain (~200m) and can be a little loose in sections so a road bike with narrow tires will not be appropriate unfortunately. If you're not sure if your bike is up to the task, contact aaron.macritchie@dal.ca.
