Welcome to our blog!


We are three young women embarking on a cross Canada cycling trip! We will be starting May 5th from Victoria, B.C, making our way

East to St John’s, Newfoundland, spanning over >7000km. We are planning to stay mostly in campsites, but will indulge now and then in a roof over our heads (be it a hotel/motel/holiday inn, friends/family, or couchsurfing/warm showers). We will be carrying all our gear on our bikes, including tents and camping equipment.


This is by faaaar our biggest cycling adventure yet, and, after a LOT of planning and practice, we are so excited to get rolling!


Feel free to contact us with any questions or comments, and please check out our fundraising pages along the side bar!


Thank you!

Day 1: (May 5) Victoria to White Rock 79.5km

Julie started off our first official day in style! For her concern about sun protection, she found a store in Victoria which sold "DaBrim" helmet brims, as displayed below.
Next we headed to the Mile Zero monument, where we made some new friends!
We also had to do a mandatory dipping of our bike wheels in the Pacific Ocean! 
We finally got rolling East! We took the Galloping Goose and Lochside Regional trails back to take the ferry for a second time! 
Once off the ferry we rode along the gravel Boundary Bay Dyke Trail. We then continued on King George Blvd to The Pacific Inn Resort & Conference Centre in White Rock.
