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 57: (June 30) T-Bay Rest Day

After a night out and some more thunder brewing, we decided to stay put for the day. We had some "must dos in T-Bay" and wanted to have our bikes looked at.
For breakfast we went to the Hoito, a Finnish restaurant made for the workers who came to work in the bush and needed affordable meals. It was simple and delicious. We had Finnish pancakes, which are kind of like thick crepes.

We took our bikes in to the very cool named bike shop, Rollin' Thunder.
Our next food related stop was to get Persians. Persians are a Thunder Bay specialty which are cinnamon doughnuts with no hole and pink icing on top. The place to get them is The Persian Man, a bakery that makes them Fresh!
