Day breaks with a clear cool sky and only slight signs of the prior day’s storm. Ted and I are ready to make our final push, returning to Charlottetown. As we look out toward the ocean and New Brunswick, a quintet of kayaks make their way east on a placid, smooth sea. The water is […]

We are nearing the end of our trip and only now are we faced with the possibility of inclement weather. The forecast is for heavy rain this afternoon. We have already cut off a section of our bike tour to take our daily mileage total down to around 40 miles from over 50. We may […]

Ted and I decided the prior night to continue decreasing our daily mileage as a combination of tedium and the desire to be off the bike more made the planned trip something we no longer wanted to pursue. Fortunately, the distance cuts we could make over the next few days were easy to accomplish and […]

As we pedal though the roads and trails of PEI, we have seen and experienced so many wonderful plants we thought we would share our favorites in ranked order. 10. Wild geranium:  I see lots of these plants at home, but in our travels, they seemed to struggle to hold a place. Still it was an […]

After biking four days and 195 miles, Ted and I were ready for a break. Yesterday we were supposed to bike 53 miles from Cable Head to East Point and back to Souris. While both of us were physically up to the challenge, I think we were ready to slow down a bit. So we […]

PEI is a big island with many small, and interesting aspects. One that Ted found fascinating was the fact that our B&B in Cable Head was adjacent to an airport. This airstrip has land parcels that are divided with conifers as wind screens so if you own a plane, you can fly it into the […]

One of the things that the tourist literature for PEI boasts of is the preponderance of sea glass. They make it sound that regardless of what ever beach you decide to traverse, a treasure trove of re-formed sand is there for the taking. So like the early Conquistadors seeking gold in the New World, I […]

We left around 9 am with the forecast for 12 to 25 mph winds coming from the southwest. Given yesterday’s bit of bluster and chill, we layered up with our windbreakers anticipating a cold start. But as the wind was coming from the south, the chill of yesterday was transformed into a hot wind that […]

>As Ted and I was finishing up our ride yesterday, the Confederation Trail swung us near the water. To our right was a field of wheat and to the left was St. Peter’s Bay with dark blue water and a myriad of mussel markers. A large church rose above all other buildings on the opposite […]

For the past four days, Ted and I have been loaded down with all of our belongings that we must truck from B&B to B&B. But last night we got to enjoy biking sans luggage as the restaurant we were dining at was 1.5 miles away from our B&B and there was no need for […]
