Rotary to Purcell's Cove w/ multiple out and back runs
A cycling route starting in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
Overview
About this route
Purcell's Cove Road has some nice rollers and minimal traffic. Occassionally you'll get some nice ocean views too.
This route is a nice alternative to the crumbly shouldered Herring Cove/Purcell's Cove loop.
Use the End of Hebridean -- at Pelham where the road is wide and just before you hit Herring Cove -- as the first U-turn spot and then the crest just west of St Augustine as the second U-turn spot.
Finish back at the rotary when you have done enough out and back runs to Hebridean.

Use the crest here as your turn-around since it offers the best visibility and it means you can avoid the higher traffic portion that starts north of the Williams Lake intersection.
