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 34: (June 7) Saskatoon to Clavet 32.1km

Today we had a very slow start. We were tired from our night on the town in Saskatoon, and wanted to get some coffee and crepes at our new favourite spot, Drift. When we got to the coffee shop, we ran into Jonas and Steph, two cyclists who had been a day behind us since the beginning! We were very happy to meet them and swap stories.
loaded and ready to go after a great day off!

Bike rack in the prairies?

Ramona and Tim!

After a very leisurely breakfast, we headed to the grocery store on the edge of town to stock up for some more time in the prairies. By the time we headed out, it was late afternoon! We headed along 8th street East until connecting with the Highway 16. The headwinds were brutal, so we did not go far. We stopped for the night in Clavet, where we met Tim and Ramona. Tim and Ramona were two lovely people who offered their lawn for us to camp in, protected from the wind! We had fun meeting them! In the morning Ramona chatted with us and made us some delicious breakfast. We were very grateful!
