I received an email today from fellow distance cyclist Drew Bratton.

Drew recently returned from a solo tour of Nova Scotia and wanted to share his photos with other cyclists. About his tour, Drew writes "in August of this year I completed an 8 day trip to Nova Scotia... a culture that loves cyclists, beautiful roads, friendly people and awsome sea scapes."

Included in this post are 5 thumbnails from Drew's online photo gallery.

Drew covered 700 Km in 8 days. Temperatures were in the high 70's each day with only one day of rain during the tour.

If you'd like to see more of Drew's photos or larger versions of these, you can find them at KodakGallery.com

By the way, Drew plans to bicycle across America in February or March of 2007 following the Southern Tier route suggested by Adventure Cycling. Drew's also participating in Cross North Carolina, a 7 day/475 mile group ride across the state. A total of 900 riders are expected to participate.

If you're interested in joining his group of distance cyclists in their self contained tour, email him at apbratton at earthlink.net.

Here's to you, Drew. Happy trails.
