Bonjour from Quebec. We are now officially an international group of trekkers! Today’s ride was an easy one and passing over the border was a breeze. We wanted the first stop of our Canadian excursion to be somewhere that we could only visit in Canada, so we biked straight to the closest Tim Hortons for […]
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 […]
We started the day off with some cereal in milk. Then we were off. The trail was only 20 miles then a big down hill. But on the the way up we went on some awesome bridges. It was not long till we were at the contadental divide. We took a small break and some […]
Today’s theme was scenic waterfront vistas. The bike trail running out of Burlington took us straight up the shore of, and eventually straight out into, Lake Champlain. When I say straight out into the lake I guess I more so mean straight out over the lake. The Island Line Trail eventually sort of veers out […]
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 […]
Burlington, Vermont is quite the special place. Sitting on the Eastern shore of Lake Champlain, it lies tucked away between NY’s Adirondack mountains to the west and Vermont’s Green mountains just to the east. All of these features coming together create some waterfront views that (almost) make it seem like your looking out onto the […]
Another day, another adventure for the Great Allegheny Passage trekkers. We awoke at 7:30 in Ohiopyle State Park and navigated our bikes down a steep walkway back to the path. We got in 11 miles before lunch in Confluence, PA.In the early afternoon the sun started shining again and we were off towards Husky Haven […]
We started our day early today expecting to bike only 34 miles.We ate an early lunch in the park in a small town. When we reached D.A.R Park we relaxed and went swimming in Lake Champlain. The water was very refreshing especially after a hot day. We decided that we wanted to bike further since […]
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 […]
