At the end of every night, the group sits around a warm plate of food and talks about our day. We have a tradition called rose, bud and thorn. Rose is the best part of your day, thorn is the worst, and the bud is something you are looking forward to happening on the trip. […]
Back in England! After getting off the ferry, we biked just under 40 miles to a campsite in Sudbury. Keeping a steady pace, and only “exploring the suburbs” (getting lost) once, we arrived at the campsite in the early afternoon. This allowed us to set up camp and take a nice nap before dinner. Dinner […]
This morning Julie made us a special breakfast. We had sausage, turkey bacon, and scrambled eggs. Then we had to pack our bags and gear at the camp before we went on the ferry to Newport. We had to be on the ferry for 11:15 but before we got on we had time to go […]
It is Wednesday my dudes. We awoke to the sound of Julie’s voice echoing throughout the campground like the sound of a thousand angels. After a scrumptious breakfast consisting of the finest Quaker granola bars Stop and Shop has to offer, we set off on our bikes to bond with one another and discover ourselves. […]
Today, we awoke from our camping spot by the ocean and packed up quickly. We ate our breakfast on the beach, and then slowly made our way into the water and relaxed. There were a LOT of dogs that passed by, and many of them came up to say hi. We also saw a very […]
We biked from Larabee to Birch Bay. We stopped for a couple hours to explore downtown Bellingham, the largest city we’ve passed since Seattle. At Birch Bay we spent time on the beach before enjoying Kyle’s Buffalo Mac and Cheese. Learn more about the Teen Treks Pacific Northwest Trek.
Welcome back to day 4 of the New England Shore Coast Trek. After a relaxing night at the Days Inn of Mystic Seaport, we got up and munched on our continental breakfast before setting out for Burlingame State Park. Cruising through the town of Mystic, we made a quick pit stop at the local bike […]
We woke up bright and early in Amsterdam. David made eggs and grilled cheeses in the park and we went to the Anne Frank Museum afterwards. It was very emotional and I could only imagine what it was like for her and her family. Then, we set off to our halfway journey to the English […]
Today we biked to Larabee State Park. We took the ferry back from Orcas Island and stopped in Anacortes to buy groceries. Then we continued along 30 miles of mostly flat riding to reach our destination. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the Cascade Mountains along the edge of the coastal plains. Learn more about […]
As our last day in Montreal drew to a close, we were given the opportunity to climb the city’s namesake, Mont royal. The mountain afforded us a quasi-birdseye view of the city, where we were able to look upon the streets we had traversed throughout our stay. This excursion marked the end of our tourist […]
