Thanks. By the time I get to PEI I should know if I am running ahead of schedule or behind. Roughly a third of my trip I planned to take on the Great Trail, and gravel touring is always slower than paved road touring so I am not sure how my schedule will work out. I have mapped out some shortcuts in case I am running behind schedule. Plane tickets are for June 4, returning home on July 11 (no flights on Boeing 737 Max 8), flying Air Canada.
