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 40: (June 13) Russell to Shoal Lake 78.6km

After eating a yummy breakfast at The Russell in we packed our things and got ready to go, only to discover yet another flat tire! Now experienced and practices we fixed the tire without any problems. We hit the 16 and cycled, it was another challenging day against the wind, and beaming sun. We stopped in Kent for a pee break, the owner of the Kent Hotel opened his doors just so we could use the toilet. It was a unique place with a large collection of hockey memorabilia. We decided to stop in Shoal Lake. Lakeview Park Shoal Lake was our home for the night. We went to bed early to feel better rested in the morning.
