Today we woke up for our rest day in Brewster. We were also able to sleep in: for some that meant 6am and for others that meant 10am. The humidity forced us out of our tents, but to enjoy a granola and yogurt breakfast. David willingly and graciously took the laundry to the nearest laundromat […]
Today we left at 9:30am to continue our trek through Cape Cod. We biked our first half of the day to a Stop and Shop to enjoy what we finally deserved: 3 bags of CAPE COD chips. We left after a restful stop under a shaded hill, and biked the second half of our trip […]
We started off the day by waking up at 7:30am and quickly (for us) getting out of camp by 9am. We rode 5 miles to Dave’s Diner (guess who picked). After we stuffed ourselves with bacon, waffles, pancakes, and eggs, we rode 16 miles to a public library where cold water and lots of books […]
Today we entered the second half of our trip! We started off by waking up -for the last time- in THE Hilton, and enjoying a mosh posh of cereal and fruit. We left around 9:30 am and headed off for our 25+ mile day. We knocked out 17 miles before stopping at Under The Sun […]
Today was our rest day in Providence, RI! As a result of our patience of waiting for our rooms yesterday, we started off by enjoying a complimentary buffet breakfast. After, we rode a whopping 2 blocks to the nearest park to wash and de-grease our bikes. We then rode all the way back to THE […]
Today was the spookiest day of the trip yet. We awoke to a foggy morning in Newport and began a misty cliff walk. We walked down stairs to the cliffs (originally providing beach access for wealthy families) that had been rebuilt after the 1938 hurricane. As we stood on the cliffs we observed a spirit […]

Today we enjoyed our day off on Block Island for the Fourth of July. We had a leisurely morning recovering from a long ride the day before, and then headed into town for the parade. This year’s theme was Favorite Television Shows, and we caught enough candy from the passing floats to last us the […]
Today we biked around 20 miles or so, in order to reach Mystic, CT. Along the way there were numerous hills that were quite steep, but reaching the top of a few hills was rewarded with a downhill path that allowed for us to reach high speeds in excess of 16-18 miles per hour. We […]
Today, we woke up in our hotel rooms especially early to get a head start on our long trek of 43 miles, the longest we’ve biked. We packed our gear and ate the hotel breakfast. Finally, we hit the road and biked 10 miles to a Cumberland Farms to get food for our lunch and […]
