Easily the best part of July 5th was the Dutchess County Bike Path. Taking a quieter route on a beautiful and well-maintained bike path felt great but that wasn’t all, it ended with a fantastic view from the top of Walk Across the Hudson in Poughkeepsie. After all of that we were pretty hungry and […]
Today the Trekkers journeyed from Deer Lodge to Butte, MT. They had an easy mileage day, as they experienced several bike mechanic issues, but they pushed through the challenges and were rewarded with a night in a nice hotel. They got to rest and relax in the evening, wrapping up the day with a dip […]
“Today’s journey to Sippewissett Campground began with a delicious homemade meal of chocolate chip pancakes and strawberries on the side. After being well fed we began our ride to Falmouth, Massachusetts following the beautiful Shining Sea Bikeway. After a delicious lunch of sandwiches from Dean’s Market we began the final stretch to our campsite, making […]
Finally leaving Olympic National Park this morning. We biked 34 miles on a smooth bike trail. It was nice to travel among cows rather than cars and people. We stopped at a laundromat that was conveniently across from a supermarket. While the laundry was going we enjoyed a satisfying lunch and did some bike repairs. […]
The New York to Montreal Trekkers had a busy fourth of July! Today we woke up at Croton Point Park, ate a hearty breakfast of instant oatmeal, then got on the road at 9 am. After about 20 miles on the road, we had lunch at a store where your Appalachian Trail crosses Route 9, […]
Our goal today was Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park: 3500 feet, 12 miles. Mike: “The views were absolutely breathtaking; we frequently stopped at beautiful scenic lookouts. The view of the snowcapped mountains at the top, however, put all others to shame.” Jonah: “There was a family of deer on the way and I watched […]
In a galaxy far far away… AKA Montana, six brave heroes completed 69 miles of difficult terrain. Memorable things went on such as Henry exceeding his daily carb and sugar intake by around 200%, Kyle going into beast mode for an hour after lunch, Alex becoming a pig literally and metaphorically (pork joke) and Rob […]
Today the Across America Trekkers covered some serious ground. Despite the time change after crossing into Montana, they hit the road early today and crossed through Missoula, where thy stopped at the Adventure Cycling Office. There, they visited the same spot that over 1,200 cyclists stop at each year to grab an ice cold drink […]
The NY-Montreal Trekkers had an eventful first day. Our ride up the Saw Mill River Bikeway was full of rolling hills and beautiful scenery. We past the new Tappan Zee Bridge and headed into Croton Pt. Campground with plenty of time to cook a delicious dinner of mac & cheese and hot dogs. After dinner […]
In Victoria, seagulls and pigeons serve as the honorary replacements for the songbirds and crows of California. Waking up at 4:30 AM to catch a 6:00 ferry to Port Angeles back in Washington, we were crudely seen off by an orchestra of dissonant squawks and coos. Our next stop was Safeway, where we shopped for […]
