Ride For Rand : Day 87 - Port Elgen to Brackley Beach Hostel

Continuing on my journey through the night I woke up a couple of hours later at around 5 a.m. and continued down the road until I found a gas station. I bought some breakfast and then made my way through to the end of the road. I eventually made it to the PEI Confederation bridge where I had to wait for shuttle to carry me a cross. I was pretty tired at the time from cycling all night, so I waited for it lying down and just relaxed until the shuttle arrived half an hour later. The trip on the shuttle itself wasn't as special as seeing the bridge from afar. On top of the bridge, I just felt like I was in a cozy seat looking down on the ocean. I fell asleep and woke up on the other side, finally making it to Prince Edward Island. PEI is a really nice place because of the beautiful trails and nicely groomed fields. I made my way long the trails to Brackley Beach and the countryside was some of the most beautiful countryside that I had seen in the entire trip. It was really nice. After being on the trail most of the way, I do have to say that the roads were just as bad as northern Ontario from a cyclist's point of view. The shoulders were narrow and the traffic was usually single lane with trucks passing by. I suppose this is the price we have to pay for the immense beauty of this place. While I was there I met a group of people and one of my new friends had a rental car. Two of the friends were from Japan and one from Korea. It was nice to visit with them for a few days while I was there and share some stories with new friends.
