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 86: (July 29) Montreal to Repentigny 40km

Today we took a long time to get off the island. There was still the unresolved issue of Claire's front pannier rack, that had to be fixed. There was the broken part of the screw still stuck in the bike that we could not remove. After having the rack fixed at the bike shop, we had a late lunch with Kucer, and our friends Carlita and Sophie. Kucer joined us for some cycling on our way out of town. We rode on Rue Notre Dame East all the way out of the city.
Once off the island, it was pretty dark and there were no campgrounds around. So we knocked in a few doors to ask if we could camp on someone's lawn. One very kind couple, Jean and Marguerite were kind enough to let us stay. Oh- and also let us use their pool! We had a very nice time meeting them.
