These two easy rides begin in St. Peters and can be completed in a day. If you’re a beach lover, two days are better. You’ll pass a picturesque working harbour, gorgeous beaches, and sections of the PEI National Park. The terrain on the St. Peters Loop is mostly level, except for a few rolling hills near the end of the ride. The road to Greenwich is gently rolling, but not difficult.
