Day 27...
After a solid nights sleep I went for breakfast only to be greeted by the cheerful smile of Diane – the Super 8 Truro’s employee of the quarter! Diane is a gem and when I told her that I needed some stuff for my bike, she made arrangements for her dad to come and grab me to take me to Canadian Tire.
I grabbed what I needed and we headed back to the hotel. I tended to Black Betty (my bike)
Diane offered me some wipe down rags and to get a bucket but with the looming rain I decided to not wash Black Betty but to wipe her down a bit from the mist that was all over her and just wash the bugs off the headlight and windshield. I took a bit of time in the hot tub, went to the room and packed and got ready to head out.

I had breakfast, and went to check out. I thanked Diane and her dad for everything they had done and was finally on my way to Sidney at about 10 AM.

The Super 8 Truro not only had a really comfortable bed and great staff but the breakfast was really good too! If you find yourself in the Truro region – check this hotel out…Diane and all of the staff will treat you well, of that I am very sure!

Onwards to Sidney in Cape Breton
– YEAH!!!!
It was over cast and threatening to rain but it was warm and
the entire way to Sidney I never got what you could call any amount of rain, it
was more like a mist.
As I crossed the Causeway into the Cabot Trail region I was
excited like a little kid.
It is so beautiful – words can not come close to describing
how pretty.
I got horribly lost trying to find the rally head quarters,
I wanted to stop there first before I checked in to the hotel, but in the end
run, I ended up checking into the hotel first and getting directions from the
staff at the Comfort Inn on how to find the rally.
Once I knew where it was, the actual finding of it wasn’t
bad – the Casino and Tim Horton’s had great signage as to how to find them. I
pulled into the parking lot and who should I run into? Micheal, the Ratbiker
from Germany
– he was holding court as many admired his eye catching rat bike. After a great
gab, I went and took in the vendors, got en event itinerary and met up with the
CMC and the Saddlebags.

The gals from the Saddlebags and I made plans to ride to the Storm the Fortress Event the next evening (Sunday Night).
I had the most wonderful visit with Glenn and Gwen from
Motorcycle Mojo – they are in the process of setting up their cabin on the
trail and had driven up with a trailer filled with furniture! Glenn’s brother, John is a leather smith and
has a shop on the trail. I also caught
up with Harold and Wendy Nesbitt from Tour Guide Nova Scotia and 5 area riders
from Grande Prairie!

It was wonderful.
I headed back to my hotel to get rested up for Sunday, it was shaping up to be a busy day!
When I got there the place was jam packed with bikes!
