Days 71-73: Rest Day in Fredericton, Fredericton to Young’s Cove (T.D.: 89.0km; S.T: 4h14min), Young’s Cove to Moncton (T.D.: 96.7km; S.T.: 4h34min), Moncton NB to Charlottetown PEI (T.D.: 157.6km: S.T.: ?)

After a rest day in Fredericton, we wrapped things up with a victory lap to Charlottetown with Caroline’s brother Mike. We had three days of biking with equal parts sun, rain and fun times (lots of each). Stayed at McCready’s Motel in Young’s Cove on night one, with Aunts Beth and Helene in Moncton on night two, and with sister Kathleen in Stratford, PEI on our last night. Final count on the odometer: 6751.7 km. Not too shabby. I'll let the photos do the rest of the talking... 

 

And then there were three.

 

Michael Lee + Pumpkins = EXCITEMENT 

 

Michael Lee + Bike Tripping = FLAT TIRES

 Lunch under a bridge like common trolls.

 Brother and sister in perfect jumping harmony.

 Mike speeding ahead on his borrowed, weightless road bike while we haul his gear...

 Arrival in Young's Cove.

 And McCready's Motel: The finest in luxury accommodations.

 With good food to boot. Dinner.

 Dessert.

 

 And breakfast.

 On the road to Moncton (day 73) - a stop in Salisbury, home of the Silver Fox.

 And the Dairy Queen.

Mike got the hang of posing in front of welcome signs really quickly.

 Home-cooked meals!

 Cooked up with Aunts Beth and Helene - Thanks ladies!

 A rainy day en route out of Moncton and towards PEI.

And another flat tire for newbie Mike.

 Shediac: Home of the GIANT LOBSTER!

 A shuttle ride across the Confederation Bridge!

 Another great Michael pose.

 But the master remains undefeated!

 Caroline and Pat: Champions of the Pacific-Atlantic cycle route - Vancouver to Charlottetown!

 Kathleen meets us on her bykle!

 Three words: ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT LOBSTER DINNER

 Icing on the long-awaited REBAR CHOCOLATE CAKE (you know it's been a good trip if it ends with one of these. Booya)
