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 111: (August 23) North Sydney to Port aux Basques 32.6km

We woke up early to pack up before a cycling towards our last and longest ferry ride yet. The ferry ride was not the smoothest. The winds and waves caused some seasickness among even the seasoned staff aboard. Barf bags were handed out. Once ashore in Newfoundland, we were so thankful to be back on land!!! We did some grocery shopping, and had a quick bite to eat. After asking to camp on Helen's lawn we were invited to stay in her home. It was a great way to spend our first evening in Newfoundland, with such a welcoming and kind woman.
We cycled along TCH Hwy 105 to get to the ferry. Once in Newfoundland, we started on Hwy 1, which would be our primary highway throughout the province.
