The Trekkers of 2 groups the Cape Cod Trek and the New England Shore Trek met this morning to begin their adventures. The groups embarked onto a ferry going from Boston to the far tip of Cape Cod, the town of Provincetown. Over the next 10-16 days this combined group of cyclists will ride the […]
Yesterday’s *tailwind turned round and buffeted us like Berkshire Hathaway properties, making our century feel like it began during the Taft administration. We incised our way through the wind like it was fresh elote, leaving husks of exploded inner tubes in our wake, and despite some early hurdles, we made industrious strides worthy of those […]
An easy, breezy, beautiful 87 miles spit us out of Montana and into the left elbow of North Dakota today. The ride was mercifully flat and the sun was gentle and marigold, courtesy of a layer of wildfire haze. Old Smoky the Bear must have been out all night line dancing, so we took the […]
Today was our last day of riding towards Montreal! We woke up very excited to hit the road and reach our final destination. But before that, we started off our day with a friendly game of soccer to warm us up. The ride today was very easy… mostly flat, plus some fun downhills. For lunch […]
One century and seven miles ago, we left the comfort of maple syrup and sausages marinated in hotel lobby muzak to file down the blackened finger of HWY 87. Well-timed stops at friendly local watering holes adorned with tasteful taxidermy had us busting down the road like Richard Petty. Flat ground and tailwinds didn’t hurt […]
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 […]
Blog july 11 We awoke to the gradual crescendo of light which crept at our faces from beneath the beds’ respective curtains. After rolling out of bed, we went down to another floor to eat breakfast. Our breakfast exceeded our expectations in every way, from the food to the atmosphere of the floor we found […]
We finally had beautiful weather today! We woke up early to catch the Mohican boat from Lake George to Baldwin, which was a 3 hour trip. The sun was shining, the blue water glimmered, and the Adirondack mountains towered over the lake. We enjoyed lunch on the boat and a few of us played cards. […]
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 […]
Today we found ourselves woken up at a Stayokay Hostel which was stationed inside of a medieval castle. Finist commanded everybody out of bed as boss, and we reluctantly complied. After brushing our teeth and whatnot, we began biking, recognizing the light at the end of the tunnel during our last night of camping. We […]
