Our Great Canadian Bike Ride!: Day 67: (July 10) Sault Ste Marie to Ojibway Park Campground 34.6km

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 67: (July 10) Sault Ste Marie to Ojibway Park Campground 34.6km

We had breakfast with Madge at Muio's, a well known spot in town. En route to breakfast, Madge gave us a walking tour of the Soo and a little history.

After breakfast we dragged our feet to leave as we went to check out the lift locks. We bought groceries and ate dinner in town before heading out on a very short day. On days like these it is more about keeping momentum up than actually traveling a far distance. Once we start to feel at home somewhere it is easy to stay put.

We made it just out of town along Queen Street East, then the 17B. Once at Ojibwy campground we just set up our tents and went to sleep.
