Today was a day of highs and lows, literally and metaphorically. Our day began with helpful advice from a friendly park ranger and fellow biker, who joined us for our group photo! She advised us of a much more direct route into town where we stopped for supplies and bike maintenance. Then began a difficult […]
Today, we started our day by going to a place that sold this lovely apple pie. It was much lighter than American pie, but it was still better regardless. We biked around a lot today and got to see a lot of the city. Then, we passed the Annefrankhuis, but we weren’t able to get […]
We woke up early and ate breakfast outside the hostel this morning in order to make it to the Rijks museum. We stayed there for around 2 hours, walking around and looking at their interesting collections of art and other objects. My favorite part was their Special Collection, where they had tons of different objects […]

We woke up this morning to dewy tents and a scrumptious day ahead of us. After biking a short bit, we took the ferry across the Columbia River into Washington State. We saw some stunning views of mountains and the river, while also having some mechanical problems and two flat tires. Along the way, we […]
Today marked the beginning. We acknowledged this symbolically by dipping our rear wheels in the pPacific, as we saw it for the last time from Sunset Beach, OR.We then began to head to our first campsite. As expected on a first day, we encountered many technical issues, which, although time consuming, were eventually resolved, and […]
Meet James HEY Trekkers! What’s up??? I’m James from Atlanta, GA. I can’t wait to meet you all and share an amazing adventure of mud, sweat and gears. Travel helps shape us into who we are meant to be, and bike travel is like snorkeling in the sea of life while getting sculpted by Michelangelo […]
