Less than 3 weeks to go! We’re getting ready to leave.
My daughter and I have been training since May to ride along the Erie canal from Buffalo to Albany, NY. We’ve never undertaken a long bike trip before, so wish us luck!
The trip will take us about 300+ miles along the old tow-paths that were used to pull barges along the canal. We will leave from Buffalo on/about July 22 and spend about 8 days journeying eastward.
To prepare for this ride, we’ve been training on a tandem bike. If you’ve never tried one before, I highly recommend it. We’ve had a lot of fun and good daddy/daughter time.
So, if you’d like, feel free to subscribe to our posts. I will be putting together some modest posts along the trail – no computer, so whatever I can type up with my trusty iPhone 🙂 I hope to update each evening with a couple of pictures and thoughts.
Peace!
– Matt
