Bicycling on the T’Railway
Cyclists should note that the weather varies quite a bit on the island of Newfoundland, sometimes from one minute to the next. Generally, the summer months, July and August, are relatively pleasant, but black flies and mosquitos can be bothersome. Please note that frost and sometimes even snowstorms can occur well into June and September, particularly in areas of higher elevation, such as the Gaff Topsails. The prevailing winds in the summer are westerly, so in that sense, there may be a marginal advantage in travelling from west to east. Please look at Newfoundland T’Railway’s FAQs, which provide much relevant information.
