Title says it all!

share you favourite routes/backroads for pleasure driving!

and no cabot trail/waverley/peggys cove/valley look-off (we all know about those!)

Post a road or a loop/circuit, prefably one with decent pavement and low traffic, for those long slow sunday drives, or those late night 3 AM "fun nights"

some of my personal favs

1) After 12am-3am+: looping the 102 from the joeseph howe exit/onramp to the bedford commons exit/offramp stay in the right lane and do 80-90 and wait for the mid-life crisis muslce car guys or the fartcan hondas to pass/honk for pulls. and who doesnt love going WOT on the Joe how onramp

2) Daytime or night. Fox point loop. Its out by hubbards/peggys cove way, and alot quieter / less trafic / less tourists. nice for listening to tunes and cruisin on a lazy sunday. or fun in the turns ! (be careful for some of the blind crests/blind turns. take the 103 when your heading out for those ever so fun single lane highway sections with occasional passing lanes and take the coastal/scenic st margarets road back tantallon

3) Ostrea rd/jeddore west loop. Fun loop at day or night, watch for deers at night though!

3) the 101 at 5am-6am (dusk/sunrise on weekends), from sackville to windsor. nice to have basically a flat 2 lane runway all to your self


4) day/night Springhill --> Lynn --> maple ---> wyvren, great in the fall/spring lots of colorful trees, nice hills, and great views

and of course.... you can park in any gas-station near sackville/waverley and wait 10-15 minutes with your windows down after midnight and i guaruntee you that you'll find a fart can honda to hunt down for a pull

Where do you waste your gas at?

 

advocate harbour love it!!!! I drive from nb juts to go there

 

nice, looks good on google street view!. I know where im going to explore this weekend thanks

 

If coming in from parraboro your going to love that road islts just like an italian mountain side

I never did it in a car always on a bike

 

thanks again, i checked it out on google maps, i think im going to get off on the 102, and follow the onslow-parsbaro road that paralels the 104



anyone else have a sweet road ?

 

You really wearnt kidding! I just did it yesterday, fanstastic route my friend, me and the lady loved it! feel like i need to buy you a beer!

I need to drive it again, i held back on temptation sometimes around some of the tight turns, i was very tempted to burn rubber in 2nd, but i was unfamilair with the traffic/road.. played it lazy and most of the route. I touged with a harley as well, fun day man, thanks for the tip!

Italy in Nova Scotia anyone???

 

it's a pretty awesome road

 

Wow that's beautiful. I don't usually venture out of the city, Dartmouth/cole harbour is full of race cars to play with haha

 

me and my wife always go to mahone bay but roads can be rough

 

You should dude, playing with cars on public roads isn't really racing :P and besides that, it usually a 5-10 second adrenaline high max.

Highly recommend you take an afternoon and drive out of hrm, pleasure driving can put you in a nice peaceful frame of mind for hours, just you, your car, and the road. Even 1am- 4am cruising around Halifax is peaceful.

@Daddy

I love mahone bay, gotta love the 3 different churches all across the street from each other right as you enter town! Ever go there around Christmas? They all dress up 6 foot tall Santa mannequins in like every store/doorway/street corner! They are kinda creepy!
