7 am started with breakfast – eggs and sausage made by our amazing leader Sam. We headed out to the touristy Edgartown where we got milkshakes, then we went to the beach which was very crowded but still fun and we got less sunburnt today. After family pictures we headed back into town and got […]
We started today’s rest day by sleeping in our tents until it got too hot to stay in there any longer. Then we headed over to the food court at the campground and got nice big pancake breakfast to fill our stomachs for a full day of rest. Then after breakfast, we started doing laundry […]
In what quite possibly marks the best day of the trip so far, the 1,000 Mile crew had a fun-filled rest day in Ithaca from start to finish. It started with an early morning hike at Treman State Park to see the stunning Lucifer Waterfall, followed by a swim in the ice cold water beneath […]
Today we started off a bit more lazy than usual, but things started to pick up once we hit the road. After biking for a while we stopped at a park for a snack while Denney Peter and Ben played wiffle ball. We rode a little longer to get to lunch—feeling inspired by Sonia’s perseverance, […]
Today we had the pleasure of biking in-between the scenic finger lakes, following Seneca Lake to Cayuga Lake. We saw many farms, horse-drawn buggies, rolling blue hills in the background and the slated rocks of the gorges breaking into the blue water. We stopped for a swim in Lake Seneca and it was so cool […]
Today was an awesome day to say the least! We slept in until 8:30 which felt amazing! We got in line for the Smithsonian (Natural History) right at 10am and didn’t have to wait in line for too long. We spent the morning here exploring and had a blast. We headed out around lunch time […]
We got up nice and early and had poptarts, cereal bars, and oatmeal, then we began our 32 mile bike ride along the beautiful coast of southwestern Cape Cod. After stopping at 24 general stores we finally found lunch. Poor Jenna she spilled the milk all over herself. Lachy had a pizza then we were […]
Today we set out for a group goal to complete 100 miles for what would be our first ever century day on the trip. After a long day with many obstacles that could have stopped us, we pushed through with everyone working together to encourage one another and help each other along, and we rolled […]
We woke at 8 o’clock to a nicely cooked pancake breakfast with bananas and chocolate chips lovingly made for us by Sam and Jenna. First stop, bike shop. We had to rescue my bike from the hospital at 10 am. Once my bike was saved we immediately rode to the super market. For lunch we […]
We decided to try things a little differently today because it was a 50 mile day ride. First from the “chill group” (Me, Caroline, Seth, Jasper, Max, and Tessa) We left the campsite around 8:30 AM. On our ride, we stopped to buy brownies, popcorn, and lemonade from a kids lemonade stand. Later in the ride, […]
