A Study in Determination

Rising 532m above sea level, Mackenzie Mountain offers beautiful views of Pleasant Bay and a true challenge for cyclists.
Before this tour many feared cold rainy weather on the Cabot Trail. Instead riders along this rocky face were exposed to temperatures in the mid 20 - 30C's and scorching sun.

At a 13% grade over 5 kilometers this portion of the ride was strenuous  but the heat intensified the difficulty of this ride. But with a lot of determination and a ton of sweat...

Peter conquered MacKenzie Mountain only to meet French mountain, and after a brief partial decent, he ascended to 535 meters above sea level over a 12% grade over 4 kilometers.

After a grueling 4 hours and 47 minutes, with average speeds of 20.9 kph, Peter had covered another 100 kilometers of the Cabot Trail.

We were told by Island folk, "God made the mountains, we just put roads on 'em".
