Can anyone recommend a good week long cycle trip on the eastern side of the States or Canada in May or June. Also looking for someone to join me. I'm a 35 year old South African currently working in Bermuda.

Acadia park in Maine is nice.
Nova Scotia is also good and Newfoundland is sort of a far out place - neat to experience. I rode from Halifax to St. john's last June. Good scenery, few cars, good climate, etc... both good cities. Newfoundland is wide open - could go explore there - I didn;t see much of that region, but liked it. Nova Scotia is good, you have the Cabot trail in the north which is nice - I wouldn't say the top highway in the world (as sometimes proclaimed), but good for bike riding...

You can cycle a good bit of the scenic New England coast of NH/ME in a relatively short time. Check out if the "Maine Greenways" still has a web page up. A day or two of the ride is on the route 1, without much scenery-but that gets you to Acadia. Before that are quite a few steriotypical NewEngland coastal towns (picture book-ish).
In ?2003 there was bus service from the town outside Acadia to Bostons South Station bus terminal.
