About this title

Synopsis

From early spring to Halloween each year, motorcycle enthusiast Harry O'Reilly roams the Rock (a.k.a. the island portion of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador) -- sometimes with other motorcyclists, sometimes on his own, camera at the ready.

Taking time to explore his home province and document the sights is as much a part of his adventures as the ride itself. Roaming the Rock details 50 must-do motorcycling trips, covering some 11,000 kilometres of paved routes and taking riders to every corner of Newfoundland, from main highways to twisty coastal roads, lush farming valleys to the Long-Range Mountains. Along the way, riders should be prepared for wildlife sightings, expansive beaches, dramatic ocean views, and historic fishing villages.

Most trips are between 200 and 400 kilometres in length, requiring between two and five hours riding time (and once in a while, a short ferry ride), depending on conditions and speed.

Multiple rides can be combined for longer day trips -- but O'Reilly suggests that all riders build extra time into every trip to get off the bike and explore. This is a must-have guidebook for anyone planning to ride the Rock -- or daydreaming about doing so.

Each chapter in this travel guide focuses on one trip, and includes:

road maps and written directions
highlights and must-sees for each area
insider's advice for planning your best rides
full-color photographs of each journey.
