Ditto what other threads have said, the scenery looks good but what i would give to cycle on a road surface that good. Here in Scotland the road surfaces are pretty poor (just as well I have an R3). To get surfaces that good I pop over to Spain or Majorca where not only are the roads good, and the climbs awesome ,but the weather is superb. If only I knew how to get photos onto this site I would post a few.

InIllinois:

 For those not familiar - Acadia National Park is in Maine, USA. Just across the bay from Nova Scotia.

thom_y: That road through Acadia looks fairly fresh. How much snow cover does it get? I'm sure a couple of seasons of snow, ice, and salt will play havoc with it. Anyone planning a long distance trip in the future may want to be beware. I could be wrong, but our asphalt here in Illinois goes to hell pretty fast.
