As you all know by now, I LOVE New Brunswick. I grew up on the north shore, have been living in the St. John River Valley for over 5 years and I’ve seen just about every river, trail, mountain and beach the province has to offer, but I still cannot get enough of it. When Discover Saint John reached out to me to send me on a 2-day trip full of adventures, there was no way I was going to refuse. I immediately reached out to my best friend Autumn who agreed to tag along for the ride. Growing up, I visited Saint John many times for dance competitions and softball tournaments, but this visit takes the cake. Discover Saint John built the perfect itinerary for this self-proclaimed “all-around outdoor gal”. 2 days by the Bay of Fundy, full of outdoor time, delicious seafood and refreshing craft beer. It doesn’t get much better than this.
I was so excited to leave for our first day of our little getaway. I packed my car the night before and got to bed nice and early so I could wake up for sunrise and finish getting my trail bike on my car. After picking up Autumn and a nice hot cup of coffee, we drove to Saint John where we met Sam and Lauren for our first activity of the day with Be Rad Adventures. We met them by the Horse Stables in Rockwood Park where Sam set Autumn up with a mountain bike from a local bike shop called Bikes and Beans and we made our way to the trails. They gave us a tour of the park by showing us a few trails, the skills park and some of the lakes. While the views were definitely a highlight of our tour, the knowledge, skills and patience these ladies had is what I was most impressed with. These ladies are the perfect instructors for anyone from those searching for that confidence to get on a mountain bike for the first time to those avid bikers looking to improve their technique.
