Elevation Gain: 2300 ft
Another great day for riding. The weather was quite cool. In fact this morning it clouded over and was cool enough for me to put on my vest. The terrain was reasonable. There were some climbs but nothing serious. There was a good shoulder on the road. That is good because the traffic was heavy. We went along more of the Erie Canal. Two of the pictures are from along the Erie.
We came across a small pond covered with algae. In the middle of the pond was a very small church. The only thing missing was the alligators which you would have found in South Carolina.
Today we talked to a young woman on the road who was taking a year off from college. She was riding from Connecticut to Seattle. She was on a pretty old bike, didn't really have her route mapped out, and seemed naïve about what she was facing. I hope she makes it ok.
Anyone who is a bike rider, be sure to always wear a helmet. The 5th crash resulting in a cracked helmet occurred today.
