Nine anxious Trekkers and their two Trip Leaders met early this morning outside South Station in Boston to begin a 10 day ride through southeast Massachusetts and Cape Cod. The group will take a train to the outskirts of Boston and start biking today to Wompatuck State Park. Over the next week and a half […]
After waking up in the chicken coop (Bike Shop Bunks), we went to get breakfast at a Sheetz and went grocery shopping. We were amazed by all the off-brand products available at save-lot. Anshuman made us reconsider some things when he continued to make questionable food choices by having a spinach wrap with fruit snacks, […]
Leaving Erie, PA early this morning, the group was excited to see the sun burst through the clouds for a day of riding without any rain! The route was beautiful along 5 East, tracing the scenic Erie coastline. We got a few miles under our wheels before stopping to cook an oatmeal breakfast in a […]
Today started off wet! It had rained all night, and even though we tried to rain proof everything before bed, rain still found it’s way into some of the corners of our tents. In the rain, it was tough to pack everything up, but we did it! We biked in the rain for about for […]
“Rain, rain go away, come again another day!“ The rain clouds have had no mercy on us today, from showers while we slept to a wet morning breaking out of camp, to a day full of chilly drizzle, we’ve all been a bit over the rain. But, it’s had its redeeming moments. Like when we […]
We woke up early in the morning. I was cooking pancakes while Gabby, Cooper, and Noah went for a morning swim. After we were all packed up we made our way to the trail. We went through the 3/4 mile Paw Paw Tunnel. We had to turn on our headlights to see and go slow. […]
We woke up at 6:30 this morning and all learned how to take down our tents! We had a bit of a late start because of it, but we made it out on time! It was a pretty good start, and we fell into our roles easily. Our first stop was to fix Max’s bike […]
Thoughts fill our head at 4:30a.m. about our last day biking, 55 miles. We boogie out of camp at 6 after bagels for breakfast. Of course, you need a coffee and pastry break from the Albertson’s Starbucks before hitting the road again. We bike on a path to our lunch of wraps before our home […]
We left Cleveland this morning and started our journey north along Lake Erie. Rain was projected for entire day, but luckily there was only a light drizzle for half the day until the sun came out in the late afternoon. We stopped for quick lunches at Dairy Queen and Arby’s then headed next door to […]
