The Gals

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 108: (August 20) New Glasgow to Antigonish 66km

Once meeting Liz's chickens, Sally and Suzy, and having some breakfast with Liz, we packed up our bikes and continued on our way through Nova Scotia. We did stop to refill on groceries and eat lunch before heading out of town. We climbed some big hills before making it to Antigonish for the night. It was the night that The Tragically Hip were playing their very last concert so we headed to the Split Crow pub to watch the broadcasting.
We took the 104. Today there is a section of undivided highway that is particularly notorious for accidents in Barneys River. There is a decent shoulder, but it is good to be aware.
