I loved swimming in the river in Cold Spring, NY, and all the hilly terrain was difficult – Allison I liked getting fro yo and swimming in the pool. Having to go through all the stress the past two/ three days was hard – Alisa Hey what’s going on guys, welcome back to the blog. […]
Today the group had a great biking and sight-seeing day. We biked along the beautiful Dutchess County Rail Trail until we reached the Walkway Over the Hudson. It is an old railroad bridge made into a pedestrian bridge. We got a great view from the walkway over the Hudson River. Our last stop of the […]
Anxious bikers assembled this morning in Bryant Park in midtown Manhattan at 8 a.m. for the beginning of their 16 day, 400+ mile adventure up the Hudson Valley, through the Adirondacks, cornering Vermont, and into Quebec, Canada to Montreal. The adventure started with a short train ride out of NYC with all their bikes and […]
Today was day one of exploring the great city of Montreal. It began with a healthy complimentary breakfast at the hostel then a nice morning walk to the park. Our walk continued and brought us up many flights of stairs to the top of Mount Royal. From here were greeted with a panoramic view of […]
Bienvenue a Montreal Teen Trekkers! We arrived in the early afternoon after a nice day of riding on Canadian bike paths.

Our travels through Vermont continued today when we moved on from Burlington and headed to Grand Island. As we traveled along the coast of Lake Champlain, we started off on a scenic causeway, giving us some trouble with gravel that was more than made up for by the beautiful views of the lake. A quick […]
The seven of us—two Leaders and five Trekkers—awoke in the beautiful state of Vermont for the first time during this trip this morning. After our usual breakfast, we headed out from Button Bay State Park to North Beach Campground in Burlington, VT. We knocked out most of the mileage during the morning, covering over 25 […]
Our morning began as it usually does—rising a little after 7am, getting ready, packing our bikes, and eating breakfast before leaving the campsite at 9am. From there, our morning was unusual because instead of ticking off mileage on our bikes, we sped through the mileage atop a ferry that took us from Lake George to […]
Today our group continued their journey north towards Lake George. We started our morning just north of Saratoga Springs at Moreau Lake State Park. Our group biked safely on the road for a bit then after passing through Glens Falls, linked up with a very nice bike trail. The Warren County Bikeway brought us right […]
