Rode from Goose Bay - Happy Valley to Quebec and the rode was only paved at the southern end. No matter if it is paved or not, it's a fantastic ride. Scenery, critter sitings, biting bugs, dense fog, it's all good. Careful on the freshly graded dirt, especially crossing the dirt humps left by the grader.wuzfast said:A bunch of us did the TLH a few years ago. Great ride .Do it, paved or gravel….it was all gravel when we did it. For the straight poop on the TLH see ADV Rider forums, quite a few threads there. Budget time to at least do the west side of Newfoundland….absolute must see and do, just be aware of the moose, they're everywhere.
Paul, does the route you're going to ride have gravel or is it all blacktop? And does it get you into Labrador? I'll look at my maps to see if I can figure out the route you are describing. Thanks.limey said:Eric when are you planning on this trip? I might be doing this in the next few weeks. Leaving Toronto and folowing the St-Lawrence on the north shore via hwy 138 till it ends in Kegashka. Then back west till Port-Cartier. There is a old back road that heads north to the 389 south of Labrador City then I will make my way to Blanc-Sablon and take the ferry over to Newfoundland.

I'm sure it's all gravel. The 389 to Labrador is black top and it's only the last few miles that are hard packed gravel.
