Today we set out for a group goal to complete 100 miles for what would be our first ever century day on the trip. After a long day with many obstacles that could have stopped us, we pushed through with everyone working together to encourage one another and help each other along, and we rolled […]
It was a difficult task to pull ourselves out of the comfy Buffalo hostel bunk beds this morning, but we had a big day ahead so the road was calling our name. Today, we started our journey away from Lake Erie and towards eastern New York, but of course not without a stop at the […]
This morning we woke up and had a hearty breakfast and headed back onto the trail after saying goodbye to our friends at the hostel. I got to ride with a special tiara on my helmet and a birthday sash because today is my birthday. We had a lot of energy and biked 10 more […]
We started off the day by sleeping in (well to 8:30 but that’s late for us.) A few people needed to head over to a bike shop, so they did that while the rest of us walked around Buffalo. We ended up going to a bookstore and picking up some things. Afterwards, past Teen Treks […]
Morning arrived. Early on, Sasha awoke and began to pack her things, accidentally waking everybody else up. We proceeded to make a lovely breakfast of oatmeal seasoned with lime juice. And then we drank the lime juice to go with it. Bellies full and we are already packing. One by one problems arose. Many issues […]
Today was a chill day. We started with a beautiful muffin and fruit breakfast that Martha provided. After breakfast, we split into two groups: bikers and walkers. The biking group biked to a small lighthouse house in South Portland that overlooks Casco Bay and it’s many jagged island. The other group took the bus in […]
Today was so cool. We started off the adventure with a communal brunch containing three packs of cream cheese, bagels, chocolate AND blueberry muffins, (which later got crushed by Lachlan’s bungee) and lots of OJ. Next we weaved through busy Boston streets, pushing our large bikes. Ending up in a park some how. Jasper the […]
This morning we woke up and rolled out of our campsite nice and early. The ride was really pretty right along the riverside. We made it to the Antietam Battlefield by lunch time and we ate a good meal at the Battleview Market where we enjoyed the air conditioning. We also got “fun filled eggs” […]
We made it to Buffalo! We were all eager to get to the city and to stay in a hostel and meet some of the Teen Treks staff, so we woke up early from our beach side camp and rolled up Route 5 from Erie to Buffalo at a quick pace. We arrived about 3:30 […]
Nine anxious Trekkers and their two Trip Leaders met early this morning outside South Station in Boston to begin a 10 day ride through southeast Massachusetts and Cape Cod. The group will take a train to the outskirts of Boston and start biking today to Wompatuck State Park. Over the next week and a half […]
