Across America in Buffalo, NY

Across America had the chance to sleep in and relax in Buffalo, New York.  The group headed into America last night after two great days in Canada, where the group was surprised both nights by hospitable  locals who graciously offered them a place to stay-both set of hosts were avid travelers who offered great chat and amazing food (THANK YOU!).  
The group cruised into Buffalo feeling good, especially because they had a hotel and pool to enjoy.  Since Teen Treks is based in Buffalo, the Director, Cliff and Program Coordinator, Alexa and a few lingering Leaders met the group for wings at Anchor Bar, the place where Buffalo Wings were invented.  The Trekkers were hungry, as seen by the 2 pizzas,150 wings and multiple salads they devoured!  Afterwards, the group ate cupcakes while sharing their stories to an audience of Teen Treks staff. 
Everyone got a good night's sleep, and arrived for breakfast at Cliff's house this morning.  After hanging around and relaxing, the Trekkers decided to head to City Hall for a panoramic view of Buffalo before heading out. 
The group is going to Batavia, NY tonight, and then will be heading to Ithaca, where they will be staying with a Teen Treks Leader (Keaton) who they met last night.  The group is excited to be at the end of the Trek, and are very relieved that they can have more casual days on the road.

City Hall offers great views of New York, Canada and two Great Lake-Erie and Ontario.

Niagara Toronto Off to Sunny Start

The Niagara Toronto Trek is in Buffalo and ready to go!  The small group comes from New York, New Hampshire and New Jersey and is ready to get cycling!  Today the group met and Buffalo's Front Park, which sits along Lake Erie, and had breakfast while getting to know one another.  The Teen Treks Director, Cliff, and Program Coordinator, Alexa also stopped by to meet the group.

The Trekkers with Leaders Keaton and Kate

The Chatty group is spending the sunny morning going over bike safety, and will have a picnic lunch before exploring Buffalo's many summer activities.  The group will go to City Hall's observation deck, cruise along the waterfront and head over to Anchor Bar, the originators of Buffalo wings for dinner. Today's weather is nice and sunny with a light breeze-perfect for some light riding on the city's bike path lined streets. 

City Hall provides a fantastic panoramic view of Buffalo and Canada.

Dinner!
