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 75: (July 18) Orillia to Cannington 51.5km

We had such a great time in the morning with Thamara! The boys had been asleep the night before so we got to spend some time. We didn't really want to go, so we took most of the day before leaving the house. We also made a stop at their bookstore in downtown Orillia, Manticore Books. The bookstore was gearing up for a Harry Potter event and had some incredible decorations.
Once out of town we cycled along the 12 all the way until Cannington. This road had a narrow shoulder and fast traffic, but was relatively flat. Once in Cannington we had no place to stay, so we knocked on the door of a kind couple named Paulette and Geoff, who let us camp on their lawn.
