Our Great Canadian Bike Ride!: Day 43: (June 16) Elie to Winnipeg 55.7km

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!

Claire, Julie & Nina

Day 43: (June 16) Elie to Winnipeg 55.7km

Once leaving the trailer, we rode into town for a Timmy's breakfast. We continued along the 1 which did have a nice shoulder to ride on for most of the way. The wind was forcibly against us. We took shelter in the KOA restaurant/ store off of Hwy 1 for lunch. Determined to get to Winnipeg, we continued on our way stopping at the Winnipeg sign to snap some victory shots of Nina who was on her last day of cycling. Assiniboine park was a lovely park to cycle through on our way to our friends house where we would take our rest days in the city.
