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 44-46: (June 17-19) Winnipeg Rest Days

 While in Winnipeg we stayed at Andrei's who offered his home to us. We got our bikes checked out at Woodcock Cycle and ready for the roads ahead (or in Nina's case for the flight to Toronto). We did some shopping at MEC where we indulged. At Boon Burger we shared a delicious meal and conversation with Esther, a friend of Julie's from a Winnipeg Winter Wedding. Jazz Fest was running at the time so we got to have a great night out with some lovely live music! The following day we explored Osborne Village and got some savoury Kawaii Crepes! In the area, we also stopped to check out Silver Lotus, a highly recommended jewelry store and perused. That afternoon we said goodbye to our friend Nina at the airport who had completed her trip as she had to return to work. Claire and Julie continued to explore the city with heavy hearts. :( The Forks was a fun place to explore and have dinner. The next day, Claire and Julie did some catching up with friends and family, letter writing and blog updating!!!
