đ How ya gettinâ on, bây? Welcome to Elliston!
Iâm Robert Young, your guide, storyteller, and unofficial Newfoundland ambassador for todayâs e-bike adventure. Now, before we get rollinâ, letâs get one thing straightâyou donât need to be Lance Armstrong to survive this tour. These e-bikes? They do half the work for ya! So unless you make a habit of pedaling backward, I promise youâll be just fine.
Weâre about to ride through some of the most breathtaking scenery in Newfoundlandârugged cliffs, ocean views, secret lookouts, and yes, the world-famous Elliston puffins. đ§ But this ainât just a sightseeing tourâitâs a proper Newfoundland experience. Iâll be fillinâ your ears with local tales, a bit of history, and maybe even a few fibs (donât worry, Iâll tell ya which ones are true).
Weâll start right here at Sunset High Co. on 72 Main Street, a fine place to gather, get geared up, and argue over who looks best in a helmet. Then weâll hit the trail, takinâ the scenic route past old root cellars, historic sites, and some of the best coastal views ya ever laid eyes on. We might even stop for a yarn or a cup of tea if the mood strikesâbecause in Newfoundland, we donât rush.
By the time weâre done, youâll have seen puffins up close, conquered the coastline on two wheels, and heard enough Newfie slang to impress the locals at the pub. So hop on, hold tight, and letâs go for a ride, bâyâitâs gonna be some wicked! đ´ââď¸đ§đť
