Today the Trekkers biked from Waterloo, IA to Cedar Rapids, IA. They got to enjoy a beautiful smooth bike path for almost the entire day! Due to some bike mechanics, they were not able to get in quite as many miles as they had hoped, but they plan to make up for it on the […]
At 7 a.m. sharp, the Teen Treks team awoke to a wild Tyler walking around their rooms as he informed them that breakfast would be available in the kitchen downstairs. Immediately afterward, Tyler scurried to the kitchen to ignite the stove and begin preparing creamy scrambled eggs for the gang. However, about 10 minutes after […]
Today, the Niagara Toronto Trekkers assembled in Buffalo NY and crossed the Peace Bridge into Canada! After biking about 25 miles up the Niagara River, we checked into our hostel in Niagara falls.

We got up early, jumped in the pond, and set off speeding south to Chatham on a 16 mile wooded bike path, grateful to have our gear stored at the campground. We kayaked into a blustery wind on the edge of the ocean and got a seafood feast for kings. A warm rain kicked in […]

We rose soon after the sun today, allowing for maximal time in the beautiful weather. We’d finished most of our 33 mile day by noon, when we pulled up to a public beach for lunch.
