In what quite possibly marks the best day of the trip so far, the 1,000 Mile crew had a fun-filled rest day in Ithaca from start to finish. It started with an early morning hike at Treman State Park to see the stunning Lucifer Waterfall, followed by a swim in the ice cold water beneath […]
Today we set out for a group goal to complete 100 miles for what would be our first ever century day on the trip. After a long day with many obstacles that could have stopped us, we pushed through with everyone working together to encourage one another and help each other along, and we rolled […]
It was a difficult task to pull ourselves out of the comfy Buffalo hostel bunk beds this morning, but we had a big day ahead so the road was calling our name. Today, we started our journey away from Lake Erie and towards eastern New York, but of course not without a stop at the […]
We started off the day by sleeping in (well to 8:30 but that’s late for us.) A few people needed to head over to a bike shop, so they did that while the rest of us walked around Buffalo. We ended up going to a bookstore and picking up some things. Afterwards, past Teen Treks […]
We made it to Buffalo! We were all eager to get to the city and to stay in a hostel and meet some of the Teen Treks staff, so we woke up early from our beach side camp and rolled up Route 5 from Erie to Buffalo at a quick pace. We arrived about 3:30 […]
“Rain, rain go away, come again another day!“ The rain clouds have had no mercy on us today, from showers while we slept to a wet morning breaking out of camp, to a day full of chilly drizzle, we’ve all been a bit over the rain. But, it’s had its redeeming moments. Like when we […]
We left Cleveland this morning and started our journey north along Lake Erie. Rain was projected for entire day, but luckily there was only a light drizzle for half the day until the sun came out in the late afternoon. We stopped for quick lunches at Dairy Queen and Arby’s then headed next door to […]
Day 10: Cleveland rocks! We’ve loved every minute of our day off here, from our morning breakfast of champs at the downtown Holiday Inn Express, featuring sausage, eggs and biscuits, to our day trip to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, to a pier-side swim in Lake Erie, Cleveland has been great! At the […]
Hi readers! Today was an excellent day. Why? It was my birthday! We woke up at around 8:30 and grabbed breakfast (Comfort Inn bananas, muffins, pastries and fruit) as the steadfast smell of yesterday’s dampness permeated the air. We went back to our rooms and got ready for our rest day in Toledo. For lunch […]
It was an adventurous, wet and wild day today. With 12 mph head winds and rain from start to end of the day, the group pushed through and made the most of a difficult 50-mile ride to Toledo! After a 20 mile early day ride, we stopped at a Subway for lunch and made friends […]
