PEI BIKE TRIP - DAY FIVE

Day 5 - Summerside - Brackley Beach

Started our morning a little earlier today as we wanted to get on the road so we could meet up with Kiara in Brackley Beach early enough that we could enjoy the afternoon! We had a light breakfast at our hotel before setting off towards Cavendish around 9am.

We rode the Confederation Trail until we made it to Kensington before making our way on Route 6 for the remainder of the ride. We stopped for photos in Kensington, and Stanley Bridge before we made it to the Cavendish Boardwalk. Today’s ride had quite a bit more elevation gain so we needed to stop to charge our bikes before the final stretch. We walked around and settled for lunch at Receiver Coffee (one of our faves in Charlottetown) to fuel up. The weather quickly changed and we were socked right in with fog and sea spray. We slightly changed our biking route to stay on Highway 6 instead of going the coastal highway due to limited visibility.

We made a quick pit stop in North Rustico at Olde Village Bakery as Tammy was craving one of their butter tarts. The treats were delish - we tried the butter tart, chocolate danish, raspberry cream cheese tart, and coconut cream tart.

We arrived at our quaint accommodations The Shaw’s Hotel in Brackley Beach just before 3pm to meet up with Kiara! Kiara enjoyed a great afternoon bike ride to Stanhope and a gluten free lunch at a local seafood taco restaurant called Roes. We settled in and relaxed for a few hours before our 6pm dinner reservation at The Dunes. Let me tell you getting back on the bike after 62kms today was a little sore! Kiara and Tammy had been to this restaurant and artist gallery in their previous trip to PEI and had to come back! We all had a yummy dinner before a short bike ride back to our inn for the night! Looking forward to tomorrow’s adventure to St. Peter’s Bay!Read more
