Last night we camped with the Cycle the Erie Canal Tour (CEC). Camped on the Nazareth College lawn in Pittsford, NY. We are the center of attention, people keep asking us all kinds of questions. I think we've talked to about 200 of the 400+ CEC riders. Many of them were impressed with what we are doing. Others told us about the trips they have taken.
Skipped breakfast this morning, rode about 15 miles, and then stopped to make pancakes.
Saw a lock on the Erie Canal used to raise/lower boats from one level to another.
Left the CEC group and the flat riding along the Erie Canal behind as we headed north out of Palmyra towards Lake Ontario.
Lots of orchards and roadside fruit/veggie stands.
I've decided I like riding through slightly hilly areas more than flat areas. It's more interesting. Along the canal, we stayed in the same gear going 14.7 mph, never got to stand up and coast down a hill, or down shift and grunt up one. Maybe my opinion about hills will change as we ride into the Adirondacks.
