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 27: (May 31) Rosebud to Drumheller 40km

Even with Tristan joining us our 3 hour packing up camp hasn't improved, but we have embraced it! We were glad to have chosen to postpone our trek to Drumheller as today held nicer weather for us and many adventures. We had a quick ride down into Drumheller, stopping at Horseshoe Valley on the way. The geology of this part of Canada is fascinating. We set up camp at River Grove Campground and Cabins and rode (with unloaded bikes!) to the Royal Tyrell Museum of Palaeontology. This is a really cool tourist attraction and centre for paleontological research. After spending some hours exploring the world of the dinosaurs we ventured to the grocery store and loaded up for the next few days. The late setting sun has made us loose track of time very easily. We had dinner at 10pm with hotdogs (and veggie dogs!) made over the fire!
