Most Trip Leaders fly or drive home after their treks. Katie, who led a Maine Coast Trek this summer decided that she would bike from Boston, to her home … in Texas. Read about her journey, including why she’s thinking she’ll be taking a break from PB&J sandwiches for awhile!
When I returned back to Boston from leading a Teen Treks trip through Maine Coast, I biked 2,300 miles back home to San Antonio, Texas. This took me about 55 days, which was longer than expected, but I didn’t account for the incredible people and places that would compel me to linger at stops.
Another amazing adventure filled summer has come to an end! Yet again this summer we bicycled together up and down hills, along scenic seaside bicycle paths, through pastoral valleys, along old rail lines re-purposed as tree lined bicycle paths, and on roads next to pastures of sun bathing cows – all the while reveling in the spontaneity of adventure travel.
This year we traveled to some truly iconic sites abroad!
And some sites that aren’t quite as far from home.
We had some sur-prisingly scenic roadside snack breaks
So many rocking beach days!
And some pretty memorable campfires.
We learned to balance each other’s personalities
And built something out of the new friendships we created.
We also learned about local history, visited art museums, ate ice cream to cool down on those unbearably hot and humid summer days, visited farms, explored national and state parks, wandered through country antique stores, visited iconic big city landmarks, and relaxed on beautiful beaches from the Dutch coast, Lake Champlain, Lake Ontario and the California Coast.
Not all kids can say they’ve accomplished so much in such a short amount of time, but our Trekkers sure can! Please share with your friends and extended family the awesomeness of bike travel and invite them to join a Teen Treks!
Our trip schedule for summer 2020 will be out soon and in the meantime be sure to rest up before next summer’s adventure!
Today we woke up and ventured to the famous St-Viateur Bagel Shop (Montreal style bagels) for breakfast. We then dined in a nearby park next to ducks. We continued on to Marche Jean Talon where we tried a beet drink, husk cherries, sour cherries, churros, and apples, while Liam serenaded us on one of the public pianos. We then rode to St. Catherine St. to walk the pedestrian-only streets and explored the shops. With the outside temperature rising, we went indoors to the Montreal Science Center to learn fun facts about spiders, the human body, physics and other things- your body has 1.2 kg of bacteria in it (Adam); I watched a black widow eat it’s husband (Liam); I learned about centrifugal force (Noah); I learned about the disorienting effects of curved mirrors (Erik): I learned that spiders float on a strand of web and it’s called a ballooning (David); I learned that the small intestine is 30ish feet long (Yael). We regrouped for a snack break and some ice cream (14 days of daily ice cream and we’re still going strong!). We walked around the waterfront to get some bus snacks and then went to dinner. Later, we gathered our gear and headed to the bus station where we packed bikes and said farewell to Erik on his journey home. We’re excited to explore New York tomorrow!
Today we woke up in our hostel and enjoyed a relaxing breakfast. We headed out on bike towards Mont Royal and cruised through Montreal on the awesome bike paths. We had empanadas at the bottom of the mountain and then biked to the top. We flew up the gravel route, excited to have bikes without any gear! We had a photoshoot near the cafe overlooking the city and then coasted down the mountain. We then ventured towards our lunch spot and ate delicious poutine (as rated by Liam: 10 out of 10 for taste, 7 out of 10 for wait, and 0 out of 10 for presentation because it was just on the plate) and burgers. We then visited St. Catherine St where we dined on root beer floats at A&W. We then wished farewell to Millie on her journey home, and the rest of the group took a siesta. Later, we had a picnic by the water and watched people zip-line as the sun set.
We’re missing you Millie! “Cuddi, that dinner really be hitting different without one of the turtles in our flock.”
Today we woke up from our campsite and started our day with morning S’mores (and cereal and milk!). We left the campground and stopped at a nearby Tim Hortons (which was delicious) before continuing on our route. We biked through towns, over a bridge, and onto a bike path where we could see incredible views of Montreal. We followed the bike path along the river and finally arrived in Montreal (we made it!!). We explored the Old Port of Montreal and walked along the cobblestone streets in search of poutine. We finally found some at Poutine Fest and got to try the famous Canadian treat (as rated below by Millie). We walked along the river and ate more treats and eventually made our way back to the hostel. We’re excited to continue exploring the city tomorrow!
Poutine as rated by Millie: 5 out of 10. Poutine is a little overrated. There was too much salt and the gravy was too strong, but the cheese curds were good! French fries were medium.
