This year's Atlantic Canada Ride started out as a Trans Canada Quest IBA ride. That got us from Vancouver out to Halifax in 84.6 hours. Not much more than a long weekend and we're at the other end of the world ! Here are the times from our IBA trip log. This is my third ride to the Maritimes and Sherri's second. Our last trip was 2001.

| Not much of a picture to start is it. That's what happens when you drag your ass outta bed at 0'dark thirty. |

| It's amazing what 84 hours, 3700 miles, two blistered asses, and four sore knees will get you. And zero, yup zero, performance awards. Pass the Advil please. |

| Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island on Canada Day. Cold beer, mega seafood. Life is good. |

| If you go as far west as possible on Prince Edward Island, up near Sea Cow Pond ( there's another one of those funny Maritimes names again), you'll find a wind farm and this place. Two bowls of seafood chowder and two pounds of steamed mussels. Mmmmm.... |

| Reunion time. Robb Belo, formerly of Vancouver, now of Toronto, rode out to Charlottetown to meet us. Did I mention how cold the beer was ? |

| There's two ways on and off Prince Edward Island. The 13 km. long Confederation Bridge or the ferry. We took the bridge over so now it's the ferry's turn. |
