Day25 120 miles along the Erie Canal

After leaving the Niagra area, we headed east on highway31/bikeway5. This runs basically parallel to the Erie Canal. At Lockport we watched boats going thru locks 34 & 35. Rode on the canal trail about 20 miles. The whole ride was fantastic- beautiful day, great roads, little traffic Arrived late in Palmyra and will visit church history sites tomorrow.
"Low bridge, everybody down, low bridge, 'cause we'll comin' to a town" (name that tune)

  1. Just wonderin', Bob, given the drizzles you've encountered for many miles now, are you staying upright on those thin racing bike tires?
