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 16: (May 20) Canyon Hot Springs to Donald 93.5km

Today we tackled the Rogers Pass Summit. This was a long day of climbing and cold in the mountains, but we are getting better at tackling the hills!
We climbed in the morning up to Rogers Pass Summit. On the way we faced a few snowsheds that were dark with narrow, gravel shoulders. We walked around one of them and walked out bikes through the other two. 
We had lunch in the Rogers Pass Discovery Centre as it was pretty chilly up in the mountains!
There was still a significant amount of climbing in the afternoon. We climbed and then had a lovely descent into Donald. Overnight we slept at Campers Haven Campground.
