The Prince Edward Island Bicycle
Tour is an enjoyable and inexpensive cycling vacation.
This supported group camping trip is a friendly event, with
a great deal of socializing. Along the way, we will learn
about Prince Edward Island's important role in Canada's
history, discover its incredible variety, and experience
what makes the island distinct. This is a tour which will
be both spectacular and memorable.
Our adventure in Canada's smallest province will take in
PEI's central and western sections. We will follow scenic
back roads, enabling us to experience the rural flavour
of the island. No matter where we are, we will never be
far from its shores, which we will visit often. The shallow
depths allow us to swim in the warmest waters north of Carolina.
We will also include options to explore parts of the province's
developing trail system, which follow the path of old train
lines.
The Prince Edward Island Bicycle Tour with gently rolling terrain and varied scenery
is a great tour for families and casual cyclists. (Note - this tour has easier terrain than the eastern version of the PEI Tour). There
are natural attractions for everyone as well as shortcuts
available most days.
This will be an easy tour, as far as Atlantic Canada Cycling standards go. We have planned this trip with casual to average cyclists in mind.
New
or casual cyclists will find this tour quite feasible. For
accomplished bicycle tourists, we have many extra peninsulas
and harbours we can send you exploring.
We can certainly have you busy while
enjoying the event with other riders.
We begin our tour at Borden-Carleton,
the Gateway Village where the Confederation Bridge reaches Prince Edward Island. We first explore a short distance eastward along the Northumberland Strait shoreline. Crossing the island, we we will then follow westward along the northern coast.
Over the next few days we will enjoy the area's beaches, trails, and other natural attractions. We will wind our way to the very far western tip of Prince Edward Island.
On our return, we will follow the southern coast (Northumberland Strait) back toward our starting place at Borden-Carleton. There will be very quiet roads and we will hug the shoreline. The terrain is quite easy-going. We end back where we began, at Borden-Carleton.
