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 100: (August 12) Woodstock to Fredericton 105km

This morning was particularly rainy, so we decided to head out of the campground and find a shelter to cook breakfast under. We found a patio of an ice cream shop that we made our oatmeal under. Once the oatmeal was cooked we realized there was something wrong with the water we had used, and it tasted very wrong! So we packed up and went into town for breakfast at a cute diner called Walter's.
Today we took the 105 until Mactaquac and then crossed the river to take the 102 into Fredericton. We are unsure if this was the best route as it was hilly and windy with some bumpy roads. It was also raining and we were wet and cold. So it was a memorable day 100. For lunch we stopped inter town of Nackawick, home of the worlds largest axe! It was indeed quite big!
Once arriving to Fredericton, we stayed with our fourth Warmshowers host of the trip, Michel and Tracy. They had a lovely family and were so welcoming to us.
