Today we arrived in PEI, our 10th province. Just two more to go!
The ride was in 2 halves because you can't ride bikes across the Confederation Bridge. The first 1/2 was from Shediac along the coast with some inland sections. We were on back roads most of the way with little traffic in rolling terrain. The sections on the major highways were busy and noisy. At the bridge there is a free shuttle for bikers and walkers that runs continuously from one side to the other but there is a bit of a wait. It took about 1 hr from the time we arrived at the bridge until we landed on the other side. The bridge is about 13 km long, the highest point is 191ft high and took 4 yrs to build...all of this from the shuttle driver. Greg met Heidi at the bridge and took her across and she took a more direct route to the campsite. Once in PEI, Nancy and Dave took a back roads route along the coast with a stop in Victoria by the Sea. Lobster rolls for lunch and a visit to the shop where Tony sold his cut glas art work. Even took time for a photo op with his friends Kim and Maureen, while they reminisced about Tony and how much they miss him. Then on more back roads to our campsite in Cornwall. A beautiful day for a beautiful ride through the PEI countryside.
Cheers
Dave and Nancy
