Start your ride at Green Park, just a few kilometres outside the village of Tyne Valley. Along the way, you can stop at the parsonage where Lucy Maud Montgomery once lived, visit an oyster museum, and visit Lennox Island where Mi’kmaq crafts are available. The terrain between Tyne Valley and Green Park is moderately hilly. Otherwise, this route is relatively flat and an easy ride.
