Bikes to Charlottetown

The confederation trail is a 480+ trail system that traverses the island. It is a rail to trail used for bikes, pedestrians and snowmobiles. We did a 20 mile section into Charlottetown where part of the crew was headed for the day. This was a great one way trip. We passed through forest, farm, industrial, and urban areas. A great long distance travel option. 

Quaking aspens with an understory of ferns. 

Clear water creeks below bridges. It was like the Virginia creeper trail but more scenic and much less busy. The first 10 miles we saw on one except a garder snake. 

In our quest for a water refill we met a PEI man who said he visited Hickory NC in 1996. While there he drove to Asheville where he said his impression was one of half ton trucks with guns in the back window. 

Here a Fred Flintstone sled by the trail. 

 

We rode into Charlottetown were we had lunch at a British pub and did some sight seeing. 

And of course had to try the world best ice cream at Cows.
