Today we biked from Nickerson State Park to Hyannis to the Martha’s Vineyard Ferry, which was a total of about 21 miles. We biked down the Cape Cod Rail Trail for most of it, where we just made it in time for the 2:15 ferry into Oak Bluffs. The ferry ride was nice, and we […]
All was quiet on the Midwestern front at St. Cloud’s Rivers Edge Park… Til the midnight bell tolled. Quietly nestled in our sleeping bags like stuffed stockings under the mantel, we lay blissfully unaware of the terrors that would soon unfold. Dark obelisks rose from the earth one by one, whirring to life with sinister […]
After a late start due to an exploded tire, our group set off on the detoured route around Lake Champlain. After a quick stop at a gas station for water we powered through the first half of our thirty six mile day and enjoyed a nice lunch at Sand Bar State park where we got […]
Today, we woke up at our hostel in Bruges to a fantastic change in the weather. Finally with our hoodies off we could tour the beautiful city starting off with a stereotypical breakfast of Belgian waffles. Without wasting any time we hopped straight on a canal boat and toured the city from a different perspective. […]
Today we woke up to a beautiful morning on the Hudson River by a historic ice house, and learned how ice was once harvested from the frozen water and transported for daily life. We took off of some quiet country roads before rejoining the Empire State Trail, a great bike path that took us all […]
After waking up bright and early, we headed out from Staatsburg well rested and ready to face the day. After cranking out fifteen miles, we stopped in Red Hook to pick up lunch. After recuperating for a hour we headed off through rolling hills until we found a secluded waterfall where we swam for an […]
After we woke up and had breakfast, we packed up and left Nickerson State Park. We then rode West on rural streets, the Cape Cod Rail Trail, and US Route 6. We then arrived at Hyannis port and rested our bikes against a wooden fence. We had an hour until the ferry left. We then […]
Today we woke up to a warm and dry hotel. It was a chill morning, as we had to get our clothes to a laundromat, so we had a late start. It was a great first half of the trip because it was on a flat rail trail. We flew through the first 20 miles […]
We woke up this morning in Brewster, MA, in Nickerson State Park. We had a delicious breakfast of muffins, and for brunch ate the 4th of July s’mores we didn’t get to eat last night because of the rain. We then rolled out and biked an hour to the Chatham Fish Market, where we saw […]
Today we crossed the border into the potato-like hills of Idaho. Sluggish starts and a mysterious thorny plant set the early tone for our ride, giving us a baker’s dozen of flat tires to fix, holding us back for hours… but the team came together to help one another and clock a respectable 62 miles, […]
