Irish Loop (Avalon Peninsula)

Perfect weather day for riding, 17ºc-20ºc slightly overcast. Wind was minimal and not normal for Newfoundland. Headed south along the coast on Highway 10. Road had good, bad and average pavement on the loop. Some nicely cambered corners and others were simply corners. Bays, harbours, inlets and villages are all starting to look the same. Houses are nicely clad in different coloured vinyl siding and new homes are springing up in the most unexpected places. At the south end of the peninsula, the landscape was barren with few small windblown trees and felt very isolated even though travel time to St Johns would be about 2 hours.
