Our Great Canadian Bike Ride!: Day 103: (August 15) Young's Cove to Moncton 99.6km

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!

Claire, Julie & Nina

Day 103: (August 15) Young's Cove to Moncton 99.6km

We were determined to make it to Moncton at the very least today. We took a fun lunch break in Salisbury were we tried a Whoopie Pie (like a chocolate cupcake sandwich with icing in the middle). We continued on our way and made it to Moncton! What a great place to be on August 15th- Acadian Day!!! There was a music festival and incredibly friendly people encouraging us to stay for the party. We just had to stay the night and enjoy the moment. We checked into the C'mon in Hostel and made our way down town to enjoy the music festival. We saw some great artists perform including a Tribe Called Red. We were happy to be a part of the celebration.

We followed the 112 to Salisbury, and the 106 to Moncton. It was a quiet road with some rolling hills.
