…and we’re off! Around Lake Ontario Day 1. Our team of 5 (Alana, Henry, Duncan, Olivia, and Adam) met for the first time at Front Park in Buffalo, NY. We sat in the park, got aquatinted, and discussed the finer points of the Teen Treks lifestyle before packing up our bikes and hitting the road. The sun was in […]
Today was a damp wake up. Otto had slept outside and some how woke up totally dry. The insides of the tents had been dampened by the morning dew. We were woken up by Evie, our leader for the day. The morning was slower than the day before. We had a fast breakfast and a […]
A group of excited bikers met early today on the US & Canadian border in Buffalo’s Front Park to embark on a 21 day adventure around the entire Lake Ontario. Today the group will bike to Niagara Falls, and over the next 3 weeks they will visit Toronto, the Thousand Islands region, enter back into […]
Waking up at 6:30 and getting off at 7:30 was a highlight of the day. Breakfast was just fine, basic bagels and cream cheese. Everyone did their jobs great and we had an amazing stretch circle. Maine is very hilly. The day was still young when we got 17 miles in. Ben brought us on […]
This morning we slept in a little until 7:30 and had warm oatmeal for breakfast around the picnic table. After only a few miles in we stopped at a recycled metal art sculpture garden with so many crazy sculptures and fun things to play with. The garden was built by an old man but people […]
On the 6th day of our trek, we rose at 6 am, with Kinan getting up an hour earlier to see the sunrise. We were able to cook oatmeal and roll out by 8, and we were on our way. It was our longest day thus far, upwards of 50 miles, not to mention our hilliest […]
From Provincetown, to Martha’s Vineyard to Boston, the 10-day Cape Cod Trek has come to an end. Beyond biking along the scenic Cape Cod shoreline, this group found an abundance of activities to fill each day along the trek. Dune hikes, rope swings, a Spikeball tournament, beach swims, paddle boarding, kayaking and much more, trekkers […]
Today was so fun. To start off this day the theme is Otto’s birthday. We woke up in our comfy hotel beds around 6:30. Breakfast was waffles and many muffins. Fast forward to being on the road, we spread out a lot meaning we left a lot of drops at every corner. Our goal was […]
We started the day early with the classic Rice Crispie and Frosty Flakes. We packed up and biked about thirty miles to Norwell, where we bought a celebratory cake for a total of two hundred miles biked on the trip. We then went to camp, played cards, and eventually had a fun party with music […]
This morning we got to sleep in until 8 and then eat hotel breakfast. There was a waffle machine and so much milk!! (we love milk!) Then we took the bus to downtown Portland and walked around a little bit. We ran to get groceries so that we could make it in time for the […]
