5 flats, 1 kind stranger named Gary, and 11 happy bikers later… let’s see.. where do we begin? We woke to wet tents (outside, not inside thankfully) and grumbling stomachs. Both were satiated with a good shaking and even better muffins and grapes. We then biked a whopping 22 miles to Twin Lakes, where we […]

Dark obelisks rose from the earth one by one, whirring to life with sinister […]
We woke up in a hostel in Martha’s Vineyard and then we biked 5 miles to the ferry with some bike difficulty. Despite our best efforts, we missed the first ferry and we ended up having to go on the 12 pm ferry. With the extra time before the ferry, we all went shopping in […]
