    You two are truly amazingly, strong women! Loved Annette's comment that "women of a certain age are invisible and you're just taking advantage of it," when you were stealth camping out in the open! You two are anything but invisible to all of us. Keep on keepin' on!

    Lol - "We're old and we can do what we want" - love that! And that's how it should be! WAWO Style thru and thru! Nothing like reminiscing about the AT (via a stinky shirt lol) - the humidity has just been terrible all over lately! Love the gas station dinner !! You ladies can make any situation work! That morning rain had to be such a welcome heat deterrent! Oh no - the tire! Awesome though that at least it waited until you were almost done! And then things come in three.......ugh! Can't wait to see what you ladies are going to do next! Keep making memories & adventure on! ~Karen & Shannon WOY

    Twenty years ago I vacationed on PEI and brought a bike so I could train - cross season was right around the corner. Covered the entire island. Practically no cars, no pissed-off drivers, friendliest, most welcoming people on earth - and I've traveled some. The converted rail lines are nice but you see more of the island by way of the roads. One of my favorite vacations ever, anywhere.

Finally fixed it with strips of Gorilla tape.. We can't wait for your next one. Love ya ladies.

    OMG. I was so excited to see you were in Sackville NB for your wrap up. I lived there for 4 years while attending Mt. Allison Univ. It wasn’t very big in the 60’s when I was there but it was a cute little town. Enjoyed your bike tour of PEI. The island was always known for its red soil and fantastic potatoes and Anne of Green Gables. It is a beautiful place. If you’re still in NB when you read this try and get over to Fundy National Park and the Bay of Fundy. Amazingly beautiful.

    This video brought back so many memories of cycle touring through the Pyrenees (Spain, 1986) in a July heat wave. Getting up in the dark and cycling at first light because biking past noon was just too hot, dealing with multiple successive flat tires (patches would not stick due to heat and humidity, wrong size tube that popped the tire off), setting up our tent in the ditch by the highway because the cops pulled us over and told us it was getting too dark to bike, only to wake up in the morning to discover we had set up our tent in a patch of stinging nettle! Still some of my best memories! Thanks for continuing to share your adventures - can't wait to see what you will be up to next!

    My sister did the luxury version where they rode the bikes, but had a van to carry luggage to the next hotel. This year just seems to be hot all over except in my corner of the PNW which is having a very pleasant summer. I have a theory that summer got turbo charged by the volcano in Tonga in January, but I could be wrong. I will revisit my theory next summer. I use little sticky patches called Skabs to fix tubes, but I still carry tubes, but not a lot. The little patches take up less space and might save some money, but requires finding the puncture instead of just changing the tube. Thanks for taking us along on the adventure.

    Congrats ladies! What a trip! Some lovely country trails, lakes and quaint cemeteries. What a hot day when you stopped at the gas station to get in the shade! You looked absolutely exhausted. I enjoyed the talk at the end of this video, just telling us how you felt about everything. It was a joy to join you on this adventure. We have a trail here in Wisconsin called the Elroy-Sparta Bike Trail. It's a 32 mile rail-to-trail which goes thru beautiful Amish countryside, with 3 tunnels and quaint little country towns every 10 miles where you can stop to eat. People come from all over the world to bike this trail. I've biked it 3 times. Just love it. There's camping on either end of the trail and a campground about midway, right on the trail called Tunnel Trail Campground with showers, little store. This is all countryside from beginning to end. Very pretty. I'm excited for your next adventure! Take care.

    It's the law in PEI that motorists have to share the road. They have to give a bicycle 1 meter of space. It is part of the motor vehicle act and is called "Ellen's law" in New Brunswick where it was first implemented. We have it in Ontario too. It's a fairly new rule. About 5 years now.

    PEI is the Million Acre Farm. The "waterfront" properties are nice in the summer. Not so much in the winter, so hopefully much of the Island will remain intact for years to come. It was nice to know the folks are still super friendly. Thanks so much for sharing all this because I have not been back to PE for years and I really miss it. However, the temperatures you dealt with are a shock. When I grew up there, many, many years ago, an 80 degree day was VERY rare. Visit the Island before global warming swallows it!

    Flat tires seem to become a serial problem. I rode over 2000 miles on a set of tires then they started to go flat almost every time I rode. Solution new tires, I think they breakdown and start to loose their integrity. Even the best tires don’t seem to last much past 2000 miles. Put some new shoes on your horse and ride don’t forget the socks (tubes) they breakdown too. Having a seem split or valve stem crack can make a good roll go bad. Happy Pedaling.

I'm noticing the lack of tourists and traffic all over the island. It has to be the price of gas that is keeping people closer to home this summer. Any comments on this ? Way to go is by bicycle.
