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 73: (July 16) Owen Sound to Blue Mountain 69.2km

We spent some time in the morning with Nina enjoying our complimentary continental breakfast. Continental breakfast has never been so appealing as when the alternative is taking out your gas stove to make oatmeal. We said our goodbyes and headed out. To get out of town, we avoided a big hill in the middle of the city by taking Inglis Falls Road to the 18. We took the 18 until hooking up with the 26 to Meaford. On the route to Meaford, Julie's aunt, uncle, and cousin (Celine, Bruce, and Steven) brought us a roadside picnic! 
After lunch, we got to Meaford, where we connected onto the Georgian Trail. The Georgian Trail is a beautiful, long trail that spans all the way to Collingwood. Because it is gravel it did slow us down a bit, but we enjoyed the ride. We spent the night in Blue Mountain at Julie's mom's best friend's house, Annette and Dave, where they spoiled us with beer, laundry, and a hot tub!
