	In response to a mail query about touring in Nova Scotia I wrote
   a fairly large blurb on cycling in the province.  It's too big to include
   here, but I'll mail it to anyone who's interested.  Cape Breton is a
   beautiful area, and I'd recommend it highly - I have little info on
   the rest of the province.  I've also toured Prince Edward Island, and
   can mail info on that province to anyone who'd like it.

	If you plan on touring N.S., I'd suggest getting a copy of "Bicycle
   Tours in Nova Scotia", a 48 page booklet which lists some 20 routes and
   provides some insight into the history of the areas covered by them.
   It's available from:
			Bicycle Nova Scotia,
			P.O. Box 3010 S.
			Halifax,
			N.S.
			(CANADA)
			B3J 3G6
   and costs something like $3.00.  You can get an up-to-date price, I would
   imagine, by phoning the toll-free Nova Scotia tourist information number.
   Also by phoning that number (which I don't have handy) you can get a
   ton of other info on campgrounds, etc.

			Happy Biking,
