The Gals

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 33: (June 6) Saskatoon Rest Day




We battled against our internal clocks and slept in a couple hours before heading to a most amazing cafe called Drift with creative crepes and good coffee. With recommendations from locals we explored the city. Our first stop was at Hard Pressed, a clothing company selling Saskatoon and Saskatchewan clothing. Next we walked to the garden in the art gallery, which had beautiful flowers. Walking along the water and across the bridge have us a nice view of the city. Saskmade, a shop selling locally made products was our last stop before dinner. Morgan, warm showers host, joined us at The Odd Couple for a delicious dinner. This was also our last evening with our cycling companion, Tristan. Later we enjoyed some live music at the Amigos Cantina by some folk bands.
