Our planned 60 mileage today was a needed inhalation in preparation for another 100 push to Bismarck on the morrow. It began with delectable gluten free pancakes, blueberries and coffee courtesy of Emily, Lela’s mom, and we bid her farewell before pushing into oil country. Low on tubes and thin on tread, we pushed our […]
An easy, breezy, beautiful 87 miles spit us out of Montana and into the left elbow of North Dakota today. The ride was mercifully flat and the sun was gentle and marigold, courtesy of a layer of wildfire haze. Old Smoky the Bear must have been out all night line dancing, so we took the […]
Today was our last day of riding towards Montreal! We woke up very excited to hit the road and reach our final destination. But before that, we started off our day with a friendly game of soccer to warm us up. The ride today was very easy… mostly flat, plus some fun downhills. For lunch […]
We woke up in Mystic and had eggs and bacon for breakfast. Then we went to the Mystic Seaport Museum and learned about the old whaling days. It was hot so we biked into town and got ice cream at this super popular place. Then we biked to Groton, where the first Submarine was built, […]
Today was a tough day of riding, but despite the hurdles we managed to log an even 100 miles for our third century in a row. Three centuries are usually reserved for old growth forest and elite cricket batsmen, so we’re in good company as we pitch our tents in the public park of Circle, […]
We decided to get an early start this morning as we left Plattsburgh and headed into Canada. After riding for a little while, one of our trekkers had tire problems and we had to stop. We worked together to resolve the issues, and hoping the worst was behind us, we kept biking. We stopped to […]
We woke up at our campsite on Block Island at 5:30 AM to pouring rain, so we slept in a little longer to wait it out. By 7 am the rain paused, so we packed up our tents and ate some oatmeal. We had a couple of hours on the island for some morning activities […]
We pegged another 102 onto our total today, landing in Sand Springs, MT, where we camped and enjoyed a delicious ramen. Another day on the bikes took us through our first rain shower, but gifted a beautiful double rainbow in return. Crickets hopped at us in self defense as we scooted up surprisingly hilly terrain. […]
After a late start due to an exploded tire, our group set off on the detoured route around Lake Champlain. After a quick stop at a gas station for water we powered through the first half of our thirty six mile day and enjoyed a nice lunch at Sand Bar State park where we got […]
We woke up on Block Island to a sunny, hot morning. We biked into town and set up in a shady park to make coffee and oatmeal for breakfast. After that, we biked to a farm on the island and saw goats, kangaroos, alpacas and tortoises. Then we biked to the Southern Lighthouse built in […]
