While I sit here on a mattress for the first time in days, I reminisce on our trip thus far. How we got to these beds takes us back to the beginning of the day. We awoke early in preparation for our final long ride to our first hotel of the trip, a Hilton. After […]
We awoke to find the pavilion we found in the middle of Victoria Park Canada had kept us dry from the storm. We sloshed through puddles to get to our abandoned campsite. What a better morning than the surprise of a pool at the bottom of your tent. Even with the storm setting us […]
We had a slow wake up this morning as we made our way into The Hague. We went to the MC Escher Palace, a palace for the Dutch royal family that was repurposed as a museum for the works of M C Escher. We then had sandwiches, sardines, and herring for lunch. It doesn’t sound […]
New York-Montreal Trekkers met early this morning at Bryant Park in Manhattan to embark on an amazing adventure, biking all the way to Montreal! Over the next 16 days this group of Trekkers will bike north through the Hudson Valley, through the Adirondacks, into Quebec and onto Montreal. They will cool off in many rivers […]
Day 9 (already?!)We started the day by cleaning our campsite with mark & co. A warm breakfast of English muffins was very refreshing. After 25km, our new friends left us and continued on. We kept going all the way to Port Hope. We got groceries and ate lunch. After that, me (Henry) and Olivia went […]

Today we woke up to the birds, had a nice egg and potato breakfast made by Delaney, and made our way out of the campsite into a national park. The trees kept us cool and we stopped by a lake to rest before embarking on our journey to the beach. We had ice cream, dipped […]
We woke up to Olivia’s aggressive alarm and took 15 minutes to wake up. Once we all got out of bed and got ready, we got on the road and started biking. Once the first half of riding was done and lunch was eaten we stopped at the park to play a game. We played […]
Today most started the day at 6:30, but the cool people awoke at 5:40. We all consumed expertly made eggs by our famous chef Jebediah (Josh). Then we all embarked on our travel for the day. We first journeyed to the coffee and tea shop, then we made our way to the ferry to leave Obama’s […]
We started off our day with some creative oatmeal made of stroopwaffles and banana. We then packed up our hostel and hit the road. We stopped in the OG Haarlem just in time for a farmers market where we snagged some treats like cannolis and cold water. We also enjoyed the “De Grote of St. […]
