One century and seven miles ago, we left the comfort of maple syrup and sausages marinated in hotel lobby muzak to file down the blackened finger of HWY 87. Well-timed stops at friendly local watering holes adorned with tasteful taxidermy had us busting down the road like Richard Petty. Flat ground and tailwinds didn’t hurt […]
We started the day nice and early, arising from the Clariton Inn in Seekonk, MA at 6am for a quick and delicious continental breakfast. We feasted on waffles, eggs, potatoes, oatmeal and yogurt and then saddled up by 7am for a 35 mile ride to the Newport-Block Island Ferry. Shortly after our decent, we ran […]
Today we rode about 36 miles around Lake Champlain in Vermont. We started the day a little slow. We left the campground past 8 even though we woke up at 6. But we quickly made up for it and then some with fast riding. By the time we stopped for lunch we had completed 2/3 […]
Blog july 11 We awoke to the gradual crescendo of light which crept at our faces from beneath the beds’ respective curtains. After rolling out of bed, we went down to another floor to eat breakfast. Our breakfast exceeded our expectations in every way, from the food to the atmosphere of the floor we found […]
Rest days always seem to fly by, and today was no different. After a nice oatmeal and bagel breakfast with our host Joe, we bid adieu and cruised down to our hotel to begin the official day of recuperation. Not long after arrival, we headed for a nearby restaurant to share a goodbye meal with […]
We finally had beautiful weather today! We woke up early to catch the Mohican boat from Lake George to Baldwin, which was a 3 hour trip. The sun was shining, the blue water glimmered, and the Adirondack mountains towered over the lake. We enjoyed lunch on the boat and a few of us played cards. […]
Today was a day of transitions and a start to a new adventure. We started off the morning saying goodbye to Dylan, as the Cape Cod Trek came to an end in Providence. The rest of the group ate breakfast at a delicious diner, then walked around eclectic streets in downtown Providence. Finally, it was […]
The last twenty four hours in Montana have seen us welcomed with open arms by individuals, businesses, families and institutions. Genuine kindness seems to roll off the mountains. Today we had a gentle thirty mile ride over flat ground into Great Falls. Noah replaced his bicycle, a huge weight off, his shoulders, and we then […]
Blog time! We woke up in Taunton, Massachusetts, at a state park. Trip Leaders Katie and Trevor had joined us the night before, so we all packed up camp together. We got on the road early at 9 AM, after a breakfast of Dunkin’ Donuts and muffins, and headed out towards Providence. Dylan and Tessa […]
We woke up mostly dry despite the thunderstorm around us. The first night of six straight nights of camping went well. In the rain we ate a not so healthy breakfast of English muffins and pop tarts; then we set out for our first stop of the day, a bike shop. One of us had […]
