Tim, I loved reading your story about your Erie Canal trip. I do wish that the story had ended on a happier note. On the whole, however, it sounded like the ride had more highlights than low-lights. Still, based on my own experiences, that tough last night would be a lingering bummer. You will have to make the trip next year!
I live about 20 miles south-east of Buffalo. A few years ago my son and I, along with a number of boys in his Boy Scout troops, rode from Lockport to Albany. The first few days were awesome (yes - Holley is a great place to camp). However, after that it rained like crazy. There were large sections of the trail that were closed due to flooding of the Mohawk River. This led to some difficult moments (and lots of mosquitoes), but also made the trip an even bigger adventure. If I recall correctly, we took seven days to do the trip (the majority of the boys were approximately 15 years old and were not well-trained cyclists). We averaged approximately 30-35 miles the first few days. However, on the last day we did approximately 70 miles. The kids were amazed by how far they rode that day! I hope to do the trip again some day. In the past I rode an early 90s Trek 520. Next time, I plan to take my Cheviot. Thanks, again, for sharing your story.
