Today we rode about 36 miles around Lake Champlain in Vermont. We started the day a little slow. We left the campground past 8 even though we woke up at 6. But we quickly made up for it and then some with fast riding. By the time we stopped for lunch we had completed 2/3 […]
Rest days always seem to fly by, and today was no different. After a nice oatmeal and bagel breakfast with our host Joe, we bid adieu and cruised down to our hotel to begin the official day of recuperation. Not long after arrival, we headed for a nearby restaurant to share a goodbye meal with […]
Today was a day of transitions and a start to a new adventure. We started off the morning saying goodbye to Dylan, as the Cape Cod Trek came to an end in Providence. The rest of the group ate breakfast at a delicious diner, then walked around eclectic streets in downtown Providence. Finally, it was […]
The last twenty four hours in Montana have seen us welcomed with open arms by individuals, businesses, families and institutions. Genuine kindness seems to roll off the mountains. Today we had a gentle thirty mile ride over flat ground into Great Falls. Noah replaced his bicycle, a huge weight off, his shoulders, and we then […]
Blog time! We woke up in Taunton, Massachusetts, at a state park. Trip Leaders Katie and Trevor had joined us the night before, so we all packed up camp together. We got on the road early at 9 AM, after a breakfast of Dunkin’ Donuts and muffins, and headed out towards Providence. Dylan and Tessa […]
We woke up mostly dry despite the thunderstorm around us. The first night of six straight nights of camping went well. In the rain we ate a not so healthy breakfast of English muffins and pop tarts; then we set out for our first stop of the day, a bike shop. One of us had […]
Today, I woke up quite late, at least by my standards. It was hot in our hostel, despite the three fans that whirred away nearby. Most of the day, I walked around with a few fellow Trekkers. We bought various souvenirs, including clothing and postcards. For dinner, we originally planned to buy ingredients from Albert […]
This morning’s ride followed a beautiful and flat bike path heading north from Albany, right along the edge of the Hudson River. We biked through Peebles Island State Park and then explored the quaint harbor-front of Waterford. There was a little farmers market and many fascinating boats lining the canal. We stopped for lunch in […]
We woke up in Sandwich, MA to a dry morning. Juliet strapped a tire to herself to go repair it at a nearby bike shop. Everybody had a pre-breakfast of banana bread and then we were off to a Stop and Shop to get muffins for the group. Afterwards we rode the bike path to a […]
For the first time in a few days we were up after the sun. We were treated to an extravagant buffet breakfast at the hotel featuring some especially delicious lemon pound cake. After filling our stomachs a few trekkers rushed upstairs for some Saturday morning cartoons. Looney Toons were the cartoon of choice. After some […]
