One week later its sighting in the distance will signal the approaching end of our island journey. Potato Fields The rich island soil of Prince Edward Island supports a great amount of farming. The island clay is an extremely bright red in colour. Red Clay Roads The back roads of Prince Edward Island are often soft red clay lanes. These are known as "heritage roads" and are found not far from the main paved highways roads. This allows exploration on these quiet lanes, but never being too far from "civilization". These roads are suggested as optional excursions for a cycle trip to the Island. They have soft soil and an absence of many rocks. It makes for a soft ride. The down side is when it rains - this is a time to stay off these lanes - PEI's dirt roads turn into a soupy sticky red mud which takes forever to wash off.
