We started our day in Big Woods Campground, situated right on the edge of the Potomac. Eager to make it to Harper’s Ferry in good time, we departed our campground quickly, but when Leader Anna had a mishap with her back wheel on the trail, it became clear that a visit to a bike shop […]
Today we set out from Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco and headed South, beginning our journey to LA! We biked up some of those legendary San Francisco hills in the (also legendary) San Francisco fog. We crossed through Golden Gate Park and ate Chinese food (Silas ate veggies!) before making our way to a popular […]
Our day started with a simple breakfast in our hostel. While we ate we looked at maps of Montreal to plan out our day. We explored the beautiful old French quarter in which our hostel is located. We first stopped at the Notre-Dame Basilica, which was a breath taking old cathedral. Then grabbed some lunch […]
After waking up from a very restful sleep at the Super 8 Motel in Hancock, Maryland, we set out to procure groceries for the day before getting back on the Western Maryland Rail Trail! We were very grateful for the beautiful sunny weather and smooth asphalt to ride on for 10 miles, but as we […]
Yesterday we walked around Fisherman’s Wharf and built our bikes. We had a delicious dinner of Boudin Bakery, a famous San Francisco bakery. Today, we woke up and we went down to the kitchen where they had yogurt and granola with some choices of some nice fruit.
Welcome to San Francisco! This morning was the beginning of the California Coast Trek. A 525+ mile ride along one of the most beautiful roads in the USA – Route 1. For the next 17 days the Pacific Ocean will be on our right offering scenes of expansive beaches, spectacular cliffs and canyons, as well […]
Sweet sweet relief for the Great Allegheny Pass trekkers. After 2 days of bouncing on dirt and splashing through mud, we had 15 miles of pavement on the Western Maryland Rail Trail! A great way to finish our day. Tonight also ends our camping streak as we had a great night in a Trailside motel, […]
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 MADE IT!! The Montreal skyline finally peaked over the horizon today and from there we took the scenic route along the St. Lawrence River as we peddled the final stretch into the city. As we got closer and closer to the city itself, we found ourselves surrounded by increasingly many cyclists. One of them […]
We awoke to an early freight train passing by our campground next to the YMCA. Anna and Nielsen got up early to take showers in the YMCA locker rooms while the rest of the group got prepared for the rest of the day. Once the entire group had reunited, eaten breakfast, and fully packed, we […]
