Cow Bay Loop

Starting at the Dartmouth-end of the MacDonald Bridge, the route starts through downtown Dartmouth and out towards to Eastern Shore area. It cuts inland after a time and has the rider climb up towards the community of Cow Bay before heading back west through the Forest Hills area and back to downtown Dartmouth. I ended this loop at Alderny Landing (Dartmouth Ferry Terminal), allowing the rider to enjoy downtown Dartmouth, or take the ferry back to Halifax-proper. This route is quite close to being half-drawn-out-climb and half-downhill-coast.
