We woke up and had a very good morning with pop tarts and fruit for breakfast. We left bright and early, biked through Acadia and Bar Harbor and made it to the Trenton Bridge Lobster Pound for lunch! We had a high mileage bike ride day, but we got through it very efficiently so that […]
7/26 We woke up this morning all safe and snug in the tents we set up in the dark last night. We enjoyed a scrumptious pastry breakfast and walked to catch a bus into town. When we got to Bar Harbor, we decided to go on a gander. Post-gander, we met in the park for a […]
We woke up at 6:30 and said goodbye to our favorite campsite. We had bagels and peanut butter and Nutella for breakfast. Seth led us to our first stop, Shaws, where we ate a yummy lunch and tried to dry off from the rain. Once we started biking again, everyone was cold and wet, so […]
We started today’s rest day by sleeping in our tents until it got too hot to stay in there any longer. Then we headed over to the food court at the campground and got nice big pancake breakfast to fill our stomachs for a full day of rest. Then after breakfast, we started doing laundry […]
Today we started off a bit more lazy than usual, but things started to pick up once we hit the road. After biking for a while we stopped at a park for a snack while Denney Peter and Ben played wiffle ball. We rode a little longer to get to lunch—feeling inspired by Sonia’s perseverance, […]
We decided to try things a little differently today because it was a 50 mile day ride. First from the “chill group” (Me, Caroline, Seth, Jasper, Max, and Tessa) We left the campsite around 8:30 AM. On our ride, we stopped to buy brownies, popcorn, and lemonade from a kids lemonade stand. Later in the ride, […]
Today has been quite slow paced but that is not a bad thing. We biked about 23 miles, making it our shortest day yet. However, it was definitely the most hilly day, with rolling hills stretching for a couple miles. When we got here, we were greeted by big green pastures and the smell of […]
Today was a chill day. We started with a beautiful muffin and fruit breakfast that Martha provided. After breakfast, we split into two groups: bikers and walkers. The biking group biked to a small lighthouse house in South Portland that overlooks Casco Bay and it’s many jagged island. The other group took the bus in […]
Today started off wet! It had rained all night, and even though we tried to rain proof everything before bed, rain still found it’s way into some of the corners of our tents. In the rain, it was tough to pack everything up, but we did it! We biked in the rain for about for […]
We woke up at 6:30 this morning and all learned how to take down our tents! We had a bit of a late start because of it, but we made it out on time! It was a pretty good start, and we fell into our roles easily. Our first stop was to fix Max’s bike […]
