I love biking; this new-to-me activity has won me over, and I\u2019m excited to explore new destinations by bike. However, I REALLY love lobster, and the thought of spending six days cycling PEI and being able to eat lobster every day had me over the moon.

There are, of course, suggested stops \u2013 but it\u2019s ultimately up to you as long as you make it to the hotel at the end of the day! They also take care of bike rentals and provide an app to easily follow the route and details of the trip. Effective trip planning is crucial to ensure a smooth and enjoyable cycling experience on PEI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bike_rental\"><\/span>Bike rental<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It starts with the bike \u2013 luckily, Great Canadian Trails organizes this for you! On the first day in Charlottetown, I picked up my rental bike for the week. When I walked into the bike shop to get fitted for my tour bike, my eyes nearly popped out of my head like a cartoon character. It had the biggest inventory of bikes and gear that I&#8217;ve seen during the pandemic. There\u2019s been a bike shortage ever since the pandemic, but you wouldn\u2019t know it here; they had everything! Not only did we pick up our bikes, but I was also able to choose our pannier bags, water bottles, helmets, and other last-minute gear I needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-03-1200x675.jpg\" alt=\"bike rental PEI\" class=\"wp-image-49142\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-03-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-03-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-03-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-03.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">My hybrid bike for the week<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people get a hybrid bike for the trip; however, with the store&#8217;s large inventory of bicycles and gear, you can also easily rent an electric pedal-assist bike for the 5-day cycling journey. It would be great if someone in your group was new to biking and wanted to ride with more experienced riders. It means everyone can stay together and have a great time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"PEI_bike_trails\"><\/span>PEI bike trails<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are more than 310 miles of bike trails on this picturesque little island. For my five-day PEI biking tour, we primarily used the two most well-known cycling trails in PEI: the Confederation Trail and the Gulf Shore Parkway. The rest of the time (which was minimal), we biked along quiet country back roads. Overall, the bicycle trails are medium when it comes to hills. The trails are typically pretty flat, but you will come across a few rolling hills on the backcountry roads occasionally \u2013 that\u2019s when the e-bike comes in handy for beginners! PEI is an ideal destination for multi-day bike trips, offering diverse landscapes and well-maintained trails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background has-medium-font-size\"

rail line reaching from the far west to the far east coast of the island \u2013 it\u2019s known locally as the &#8216;tip-to-tip&#8217; trail. Cyclists can embark on a multi-day journey along the Confederation Trail, culminating at East Point, the eastern tip of the island. The East Point Lighthouse marks the end of this challenging yet rewarding journey, offering stunning views and a sense of accomplishment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We didn\u2019t do the entire thing; however, we started and ended on the Confederation Trail. This perfectly groomed cycling trail, made of crushed limestone, had a slight gradient and lots of super shade along the way! It connects a bunch of little towns and is a delightful way to traverse the island away from cars. Check out TourismPEI for a <a data-lasso-id=\"1055133\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tourismpei.com\/what-to-do\/outdoor-activities\/confederation-trail\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Confederation Trail cycling map<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gulf_Shore_Parkway_Biking_Trail\"><\/span>Gulf Shore Parkway Biking Trail<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This cycle trail traverses Prince Edward Island National Park and delivers you right to the most beautiful stretches of coastline in a car-free lane\u2026perfection! It\u2019s also perfect because you can safely stop along the trail and take in the stunning views and lupine flowers! The Gulf Shore Parkway connects the beaches of Cavendish to North Rustico, Brackley, Covehead, and Stanhope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background has-medium-font-size\" style=\"background-color:#34678270\"><a data-lasso-id=\"1046996\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/blogs\/cycling-down-gotthard-pass-old-tremola-road\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cycling down the Gotthard Pass in the Swiss Alps: taking the Tremola Road less traveled<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_days_cycling_PEI_with_Great_Canadian_Trails\"><\/span>5 days cycling PEI with Great Canadian Trails<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I packed for this trip, I checked the weather and was greeted with six solid days of forecasted rain &#8211; a dire outlook. However, two days before we started, the forecast started to change. I saw a little sun poking out of clouds on my weather app. There was hope! Slowly, each day, there was more sun in the forecast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lesson learned &#8211; plan for the worst, hope for the best, and you may end up in between &#8211; which is exactly what happened for my week cycling on the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Prince Edward Island by Bike with Great Canadian Trails\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EtgfgA1QhtI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">See the video of our five days of cycling PEI<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The self-guided trip is 7 days in total &#8211; however, it&#8217;s 5 days of biking.

village of Stanley Bridge. It was about 33 miles in total. We spent the morning on the Confederation Trail and the afternoon on the backroads. The Confederation Trail took us through potato and corn fields, and we were able to see the rural life of PEI. After lunch, we hit the gently rolling hills of the north of the island, where the sun showed up, and we had beautiful blue skies, colorful lupines, and so many bucolic views!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lobster_rolls_and_oysters\"><\/span>Lobster rolls and oysters<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As I said, as much as this was about biking, it was also about eating seafood, and it started at our first stop in Kensington, where we enjoyed lobster rolls and local beer. But the best seafood stop was pedaling right into Carr\u2019s Oyster Bar at the end of the day in Stanley Bridge. Here, I introduced my friend Caroline to the joy of plump, delicious raw oysters. She was a raw oyster virgin, so we gave her our best advice (always chew them and enjoy the taste), and she is now an oyster eater!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-02-2-1200x675.jpg\" alt=\"pei oysters\" class=\"wp-image-49135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-02-2-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-02-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-02-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-02-2.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Carr\u2019s was located right on the water and had some incredible fish and chips with PEI potato salad\u2026a staple to any meal on the island!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background has-medium-font-size\" style=\"background-color:#34678270\">Where to find <a data-lasso-id=\"1044113\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/blogs\/canadian-lobster-experience-maritime\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ocean-to-table lobster in the Canadian Maritimes<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_2_-Stanley_Bridge_to_North_Rustico\"><\/span>Day 2 -Stanley Bridge to North Rustico<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, on my quest for seafood, fitness, and mind-blowing ocean views, we arrived at our destination on the coast. Wow, oh wow, these views today were amazing! We started the day at Parks Canada&#8217;s Cavendish National Park, where we discovered sand dunes, boardwalks, and great beaches. People were already picking their beach spots, and the whole area was buzzing with a great summer vibe. Cyclists can also visit the famous Green Gables House, a must-see attraction in the Cavendish area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also biked into the &#8216;hometown&#8217; of Anne of Green Gables &#8211; and the fictional town of Avonlea, based on the PEI town of Cavendish. Just a bit inland from Cavendish National Park, you find rolling hills of green (a bit of a challenge on a bike!) and wildflowers dotting the countryside. We stopped at the post office, where you can learn more about the AoGG author and her life growing up\u2026as well as get a special postage stamp!<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery

trip. The ride along the coast was magical, and we had plenty of opportunities to stop for views of the various red sandstone cliffs and Lupines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That evening we stayed in my favorite accommodation \u2013 little cottages near the water. This charming resort was a family business that had been operating for 157 years! I can&#8217;t believe that the resort has been in the family for so many generations, and each continues to keep it thriving in the changing world of tourism. We parked our bikes outside of our cottages and soaked up the atmosphere of this adorable property near the coast!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-02898-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"cycling pei cottages\" class=\"wp-image-49174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-02898-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-02898-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-02898-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-02898-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-02898.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Local_tip_%E2%80%93_lobster_served_cold\"><\/span>Local tip &#8211; lobster served cold<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We continued on the Gulf Shores Trail for the afternoon to North Rustico\u2026otherwise known as my lobster paradise. The cute town had a colorful, active fishing wharf lined with lobster traps (always a good sign). We rode on the wharf straight to the island\u2019s most famous lobster restaurant &#8211; Fisherman&#8217;s Wharf Lobster Supper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wasn\u2019t prepared for the enormity of this place; it seated hundreds of people and apparently is home to the longest all-you-can-eat salad bar on the island. I always get excited by a good, superlative travel stop. I took a seat, put on my lobster bib, and was ready to put back on all of those calories I had burned on the last bike ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background has-medium-font-size\" style=\"background-color:#34678270\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/blogs\/eat-lobster-new-brunswick\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"1044114\">How many ways can you eat lobster?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDo you prefer your whole lobster hot or cold?\u201d the young waitress asked.<br>Huh?

The first leg along the coast was one of my favorites, and I even stopped for a little refreshing dip on Cable Head Beach, which was deserted at that time in the morning! Then we joined up with the Confederation Trail again, biking through boggy wetlands until we reached the tiny town of Saint Andrews for a lunch break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second half of our ride was filled with beautiful bridges all the way to Saint Peter&#8217;s Bay. Our app told us that this was considered the most beautiful section of the Confederation Trail, and I have to admit \u2013 it was accurate. We rode through Blueberry Country, past churches, and over beautiful inlets into Saint Peter&#8217;s Bay, right to our B&amp;B!<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery

Their lobster sandwich came served on homemade white bread, which aligned with the whole nostalgic feel of this little caf\u00e9.

We rode in the rain (some of the mentally hardest riding I&#8217;ve done) to go to Greenwich National Park and the famous Greenwich Dunes and beach. We rode as far as we could into the park, locked up our bikes, and took off on foot. This park is stunning, with floating walkways that go over a big inlet and dunes out to the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No surprise &#8211; the beach was pretty empty on a rainy day, but that didn\u2019t stop Caroline from having a swim! We had the place to ourselves!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We biked back into St. Peter&#8217;s Bay and found the local coffee shop, Black and White Bakery, to stop in and warm up with some sweet treats\u2026because we deserved it after that ride! We walked in a pack of dripping-wet bikers looking for a place to dry off and reset mentally. As a testament to the kindness of PEI locals, the coffee shop owner offered us towels and warm drinks and even offered us a ride to our B&amp;B if we wanted to get out of the rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Take_away_lobster_%E2%80%93_Yes_please\"><\/span>Take away lobster \u2013 Yes, please!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>After our very wet ride (honestly, every part of me was drenched), all we wanted to do was get home, dry off, and stay inside for the night. No problem\u2026since we were staying at a B&amp;B near St. Peter&#8217;s Bay, it had a kitchen we could access, allowing us to get food take-away and have a night \u2018in.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1195\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-27-1200x1195.jpg\" alt=\"cold lobster pei\" class=\"wp-image-49153\" style=\"width:603px;height:600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-27-1200x1195.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-27-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-27-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-27-768x765.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-27.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Each little PEI town has a local fish market that sells fresh local lobster and seafood. We stopped at Julio\u2019s Seafood Market in St. Peters to check out the fresh seafood. We grabbed three fully cooked lobsters, threw them in our backpacks, pedaled back to our B&amp;B, and ate them that night cold! I told you I was now a cold lobster convert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_5_%E2%80%93_St_Peters_Bay_to_Souris\"><\/span>Day 5 \u2013 St. Peter&#8217;s Bay to Souris<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The final day of biking along the Confederation Trail was perfect weather! We spent the morning biking along the Confederation Trail, traversing through farmland and forests. We arrived in the cute town of Souris. This friendly town of 1300 people has a lovely beach park with little shops and, of course, a lobster shack. Our final hotel had the most beautiful views of the coast, making the ending a bit bittersweet. That night, we sat on the hotel porch drinking beer, watching the sky evolve to pink as the sun went down. A perfect ending. But wait\u2026is it really perfect until you\u2019ve had a lobster dinner?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"844\" data-id=\"49147\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-17.jpg\" alt=\"hotel with bike parking\" class=\"wp-image-49147\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-17.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-17-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-17-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-17-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"844\" data-id=\"49146\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-10.jpg\" alt=\"cycling pei\" class=\"wp-image-49146\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-10.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-10-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-10-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-10-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"675\" height=\"1200\" data-id=\"49151\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-20-675x1200.jpg\" alt=\"prince edward island crosswalk\" class=\"wp-image-49151\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-20-675x1200.jpg 675w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-20-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-20-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-20.jpg 844w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"844\" height=\"1500\" data-id=\"49145\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-10-2.jpg\" alt=\"biking pei shadow\" class=\"wp-image-49145\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-10-2.jpg 844w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-10-2-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-10-2-675x1200.jpg 675w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cycling-PEI-10-2-768x1365.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 844px) 100vw, 844px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lobster_Colville_oysters\"><\/span>Lobster + Colville oysters<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This last day was equal parts biking and eating!

href=\"https:\/\/www.tifosioptics.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tifosi glasses for biking<\/a>. They make bike glasses for people with prescription lenses! They also make regular wrap-around cycling glasses that are great for giving you sun protection from every angle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Electrolyte mix for your water bottles \u2013 if you have a favorite, it\u2019s great to bring your own.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Helmet \u2013 they do provide a helmet, but if you have your own that you love, that is always preferred.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you use clipless pedals typically, then you can request those pedals from the bike store, and presto\u2026you are set up just like at home! Just bring your shoes!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The bike helmet mirror is for those sections where you are on the road.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Biking rain gear. Sadly, I wish that I had brought better rain gear after biking to Greenwich National Park in a downpour that day. After this trip, I actually invested in some good biking rain gear from Gore.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plastic bags or dry bags are used to keep things dry. The biking packing bags you get from the bike store are waterproof, but if you want to be extra careful or want to protect something that isn\u2019t packed in a pannier, then bring some of your own waterproof bags, too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background has-medium-font-size\" style=\"background-color:#34678270\">How you can Bike Across PEI &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greatcanadiantrails.com\/Prince-Edward-Island\/Prince-Edward-Island-By-Bike\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"1044016\">Great Canadian Trails Prince Edward Island By Bike<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lobster_overload\"><\/span>Lobster overload?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I covered 115 miles cycling PEI in 5 days and had lobster in some form every day!
