To say that the Moving Day 80 kilometer ride
took it out of most of us would be an understatement. I pride myself in riding regularly but not every day. The following day many of us declared
we wanted a day of rest but Ken, our Summerside B&B host, suggested we take
a leisurely circle route to Kensington and back for lunch. He said he regularly took his five kids
on the ride and convinced us it was doable.
We set off on quiet country roads and it was a
relaxing, rejuvenating, slower ride.
We went to Kensington’s former rail station for a delicious Pub
lunch. It was great sitting on the
old 1905 railway station platform, in the sun, enjoying a Miss Piggy sandwich
(bun, bacon, with fried Kessler Ham, and of course fries), accompanied by a
local craft beer (Island Red is my favourite).
Our return home to the B&B included red gravel
road rides as well as timeouts, stopping to watch farmers fertilizing their
fields and monitor their crops. A
stop for ice cream finished the final bit and we arrived back home just short
of 57 kilometers. A little longer
than we planned but it felt good none-the-less.
We finished the evening at Lin’s Restaurant. It is not much too look at from the
outside but inside European gourmet food is served by Lin. He is a one-man show and so shy he
hovers by your shoulder until there is a break in the conversation before
placing your entre in front of you.
Voted “best food” on tour. I
highly recommend the stuffed rosemary pork chop.
