Newfoundland Bicycle Tour "My boyfriend and I participated in the 2003 Newfoundland Tour. We had an event-filled, marvelous time, and think it is a great ride for those who really want to experience nature in the great outdoors in a beautiful part of the world.
Gary and his 2 comrades, who ran the sag wagon and the equipment and food truck, were greatly at ease with no major rules or restrictions, allowing the riders the ability to make the trip their own personal experience. It is neither overly planned, nor heavily supervised. You can ride at your own pace, and there were many abilities represented on the trip.
The first two days were long and uphill, and after that it was mild riding, even the 80 mile day in the rain. We chose to do a combination of camping and B&B's, which seemed to be a nice way to go, although there were many who camped each night. Getting food became easier as the trip went on, and cooperative cooking of meals increased as the trip developed. All of this adding richly to the experience.
We had a great time and would certainly go an another Atlantic Canada Ride again."
S. Clinton Prince Edward Island Bicycle Tour We are a family of four who did the PEI trip last summer. Our kids were 9 and 11 when we took the trip. We had taken two two-day trips to prepare for the trip, as well as some training runs at home. The kids enjoyed themselves, especially since all the adults seemed to take them under their respective wings. We took our time along the trail, and took many breaks. We were usually the last ones to arrive at the campsite, but somebody has to be last!!
