But soon, you\u2019ll find yourself far from city life as you ride between the many small villages that dot Canada\u2019s far East Coast. Riding north on NL-70, you\u2019ll pass through some of the first European settlements in North America, many founded in the early-to-mid 1600s. Along the route, look out to sea and you might spot icebergs or whales. Inland you can watch for caribou, and in the sky you\u2019ll surely spot some of the 35 million seabirds that call this area home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you arrive in Old Perlican, head to the charming harbour to see one of the province\u2019s largest fishing fleets. The many colourful boats make for great photos. Call it a day here, carry along the peninsula, or head back to St. John\u2019s for some time exploring the colourful rows of houses known as Jellybean Row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Whale of a time<br><\/strong>Between May and September, the world\u2019s largest population of humpback whales feeds off the coast of the Avalon Peninsula, joined by 21 other species of whales and dolphins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/maps.harley-davidson.com\/share\/rides\/cTA-iUO56\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Click here to view this route in the Harley-Davidson Ride Planner and start planning your next adventure.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>First published in 2023.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Newfoundland and Labrador | 165km<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":7737,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[18],"class_list":["post-7736","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-riding-routes"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7736","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7736"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7736\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7834,"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7736\/revisions\/7834"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7737"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7736"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7736"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7736"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
