We had so much fun at last year’s Camp n Ride at Fitz that I’m doing it again!
Saturday, June 20th: (father’s day weekend)
Ride Fitzpatrick Mountain: 1 until supper.
You have to ride up at least once to show your stuff but maybe we can solve the rabbit, dog and boat problem again to get a shuttle happening.
Let me know what you think!, like last year, I’ll be there that’s for sure. – Cheers!
Birchwood Campground
It’s a nice family friendly campground. (I’m already booked with my family and some friends)
10k rails to trails ride from Fitzpatrick.
Covered community eating area.
Swimming pool and Pirate Ship for the kids
PS: Once again, Anitra says she ain’t cookin’ for y’all,
But if we feed her fancy drinks she might play a tune, (my words not hers).
PPS: This year we are booked site #60, near the tenting.
Highlights in the area: Uncle Leo’s Fine Ale - Pictou (just minutes from Birchwood, brewery only not a pub though)
Hey Jeff, Not much movement on this post but I mentioned this trip to my wife and she is interested. Did you get confirmation from anyone else going? My wife was wondering what the families might do while i’m off biking? Are you going up Friday and staying Saturday night also or just going up Saturday and staying the one night?
There is a pool at the campground and beaches nearby: Caribou and Simpsons beachs., These are really awesome beaches and the water is much warmer than off Halifax.
Pictou has some touristy things like the ship Hector and Carvers which is a cool little coffee shop beside the Fisheries Museum. (I’m not sure when it opens.)
There is a rails to trails path behind the campground.
The campground has a Pirate ship play structure that the kids seem to like.
During the afternoon my wife and daughter will be at a birthday party but will return for supper time.
I’ve heard from @rolls, and @jetter who will pop down for the ride only. Some other people (Sean McInnis and Patrick Snider) have expressed interest but have not committed yet.
Yes thanks Jeff and Sherry. The climb was tough but the descent was sweet!!! Now that we know how to get there and are somewhat familiar with some of the trails, we can hit it up again some time.
