Today we woke up at 5:00 am so that we could bike 35 miles before 12:00 to catch the ferry to Block Island. Luckily, we made it there in time. The ferry was going very fast and made for a wild and bumpy ride. Once we got to the island we walked around town, swam at the beach, and […]
The morning began with a light rain shower and an oatmeal breakfast. We set out on another adventurous afternoon on the bike. We then decided to make the decision of going to a old plane museum. We all cried because we didn’t get to see any fly, but we found an ancient bike with a […]
Today started off with good vibes, maple syrup and pancakes. A great way to start a day. We washed dishes, and set off across P.E.C. towards the ferry to the mainland. We biked for kilometer after kilometer (75 in total). We eventually reached the grocery store at 2:00. We ate and set off again towards Kingston. […]
Today we biked 32 miles and saw lots of amazing things. The first thing we encountered was the hotel that we slept in the previous night which had some amazing food for breakfast. Then we started biking and took a pitstop at FDR’s home and watched an interesting film about him and his wife/cousin. On […]
We woke up to a warm breakfast of oatmeal and coffee and we hit the road by 9. We rode along the coast with a nice tailwind and ate lunch in a castle in a little seaside village. We then relaxed at a local beach and got ice cream. After that, we crossed between islands […]
Unfortunately 6 trekkers left today to go back to Boston as the end of the Cape Cod Trek. After a morning Dunkin Donuts breakfast and a visit to Brown University to see the campus and play SpikeBall, they departed for Boston this afternoon leaving only 3 trekkers and 2 leaders. Simon took the Cape Cod group to […]
Today was very productive. We woke up at our normal time of 7am and hit the road after breakfast. The group got a majority of miles done all in the morning. Our lunch was made of summer sausage, Brie, a baguette and some salad. There was a cool shop that sold lemon themed things and […]
Today was our first big biking day and we had our ups and down. We had lots of big hills that we had to conquer that really pushed the group. But on the upside we had some long fast downhills that gave us a nice break. Towards the end of the day we got ice […]
Today we woke up to a light drizzle of rain and a fresh bowl of oatmeal made by chefs Sam and Oscar. After loading up on fuel we embarked on a beautiful journey through the Dutch countryside. We were struck in awe by the beauty of a Dutch canal village that we biked through to […]
We started off the day at Bryant Park in Manhattan, and made our way out of the city on our journey towards Montreal. We had a bit of a rocky start, between tough hills, equipment issues (which landed us at a very retro bike shop), and a minor storm. We pushed through and made it […]
