Today we woke up and ventured to the famous St-Viateur Bagel Shop (Montreal style bagels) for breakfast. We then dined in a nearby park next to ducks. We continued on to Marche Jean Talon where we tried a beet drink, husk cherries, sour cherries, churros, and apples, while Liam serenaded us on one of the […]
Graduation day is finally here. We rode our final 30 miles into Bangor and have officially completed the trekking portion of our adventure. The rest of the day was made up of a relaxing round of laundry, hotel lobby computer minesweeper sessions, and a thorough scrubbing of the dirt and bike grease from our highly […]
We started out with a very hilly street out of Myles Standish State Forest. We then continued onto Market Street, which took us to Plymouth Rock and museum which we explored for about 1 hour before leaving to do some miles by the bay before arriving at Dunkin’ Donuts for a pre lunch snack-while still […]
“The final day of the trip! Today we awoke in Provincetown and headed to the ferry. After a picturesque 1.5 hour boat ride from Provincetown to Boston we did some biking. Arriving at a park we had some snacks then ditched our bags at the hostel. After that we had lunch part 2 at a […]
Today was, sadly, our last day exploring together. We set out from our hostel towards Venice Beach, where we walked along the boardwalk and next to the skate park. We had pizza on the beach and swam in the ocean before feasting on some ice cream. We made our way back to Santa Monica where […]
WE MADE IT TO D.C.!!!! This morning, we were all determined to get to D.C. as early as possible, so with a departure time from our campground at about 8 am, we pushed ourselves hard for about three hours to make it to the city before lunch. As we got closer and closer, the path […]
Our last full day of the trip was bittersweet (sweet because there were crepes involved!) After breakfast at the hostel, we biked 12 miles to the famous Palace of Versailles. We spent the majority of the day there, touring the beautiful chateau and gardens. After a fun downhill ride back to the hostel, we walked […]
Yesterday marked the last day of biking as we biked from Balsam Cove Campground to a Quality Inn in the town of Bangor. The day started by waking up and loading our bikes for the day ahead. The morning started off very difficult with many hills on the route we took. However the road eventually […]
Today we explored the place this trek started (Buffalo), but with a new mindset- you learn something new every day! We got breakfast at BreadHive, with the one and only Tyler, and headed towards the old Buffalo train station. After exploring the station, we ventured to Larkin Square to play helmet baseball and have a […]
The invigorating, exciting, yet strenuous two week bike tour of the beautiful Pacific Northwest ended just as it began; at the Green Tortoise Hostel of the infamous Emerald City. One could argue the final day was most enjoyable as the group enjoyed not one, but two delicious ethnic meals in Seattle. This was to be […]
