Day -53: Warming up for the Summer ☀️

Hello hello! Thank you so much for tuning into the “first” blog post for Spokes 2026 🙂 We’re so excited to start as the start of the summer gets closer, and we’re currently busy prepping for all of our learning festivals with fun, engaging workshops! As a sneak peak, we’ve got some topics on motors, electricity, 3D modeling, and chemical reactions 💥

This past week, most of us were able to pick up our bikes from Trek and finally got to try them out. Thanks to the Trek crew for getting all 7 of our bikes built, and we can’t wait to go on some group rides soon (weather permitting… if Boston finally decides to defrost this month). Catch us at midnight marathon 🚲 the 19th of April though! We also had the opportunity to talk about our team with some members of the 2025 crew (shoutout Joseph and Sarah <3) on the Husky Mind Podcast, which is now posted on Youtube.

Our super duper exciting route has also been finalized by our lovely route team, so check out all of the amazing places we’ll be stopping by ↓

That’s all for now! Don’t be too sad though, there’ll be plenty more of us to come.

See you soon,

Caroline 🙂
