Easy biking mostly on beautiful bike paths. 
You will cycle on the BikeCentennial
routes, along their “Underground Railroad” trek. Leading
you along new bike trails that follow old rail lines or
canals, these offer easy, level stretches as well as moderate
but long rises to flex those muscles!
The Lake Ontario segment
brings welcome lake breezes to keep you comfortable
as you ride and opportunities to swim or just enjoy
a beautiful view. Your group will average 25-30 miles a day, with chances to stop for sightseeing as well. The
trip ends with a day of relaxation in spectacular Niagara Falls, to celebrate your great accomplishment.| 2010 Dates | Finishing Grades | |||

When we came to a town that was interesting, we’d take a longer lunch time, and explore. When we’d see a pretty spot we’d stop and take a group picture. When we’d see a good beach, we would swim. The trip was run by what we opted to do, and that’s what made it perfect. Many camps treat you like a little kid, trapped in what the adults want you to do, but the SHP people make it possible for you to choose, but still stay safe and within reason!
I wouldn’t trade this summer for anything, it was the best of my life! If I were to sum up my SHP trip, I would have to say that I learned the most in these two weeks then anytime else in my life.
