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 87: (July 30) Repentigny to Trois Rivieres 125km

We started on the lovely highway 138 and enjoyed the views of the St Lawrence River, or Fleuve St Laurent.
We had to stop at a bike shop as Claire needed her back cassette and chain changed and the bike shop in Montreal was busy and didn't have the right cassette. We enjoyed our time in the store Au Coin Du Pedaleur, as they were friendly, fast, and had a cat for us to play with!
In Trois Rivieres we stayed with Julie's lovely relatives Marie-Renée, Pierre, and their niece Elise. They fed us and gave us a place to sleep, which was so nice of them! Since Montreal, we have entered the territory where people do not speak English. Thus Claire has been doing a lot of nodding and smiling, and Julie has been playing the role of translator.
