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 36: (June 9) Viscount to Wynyard 117.6km


Our start was delayed by a sharp piece of metal that punctured Claire's tire. With Mr. Koller's help we were able to change the tire in no time flat!!! Today proved to be an excellent day for riding and we took advantage. The wind was at our backs pushing us forward. We stopped for lunch in Usborn at a purple hotel where we saw 2 friendly dog one of which had a tick on his nose! We continued to cycle and cycle beating the dark to our destination for the night; The Wynyard municipal campground which was not yet in full swing for the summer offering no shower nor toilets but plenty of bugs including ticks!!!!

Spot the Tick!
