August 2nd

Holley New York to Palmyra New York. 52 miles. 3182 miles from the Pacific. Another great day to be on the bike. The day started out sunny with clear skies. We stopped for lunch in Pittsford and waited out a thunderstorm. We spent entire day on the Erie Canal bike trail. Beautiful scenery all around. I set up camp happy and took a shower. Willie is a mess from the mud and water on the trail. Paul had a flat tire just as we entered our campsite. Good timing. Tomorrow we turn north towards the mountains of New York and say goodbye to our Erie Canal. I make a promise to come back here someday and rent a boat and float from town to town. I have two good riding partners and Alfred the rubber duck who rides on the back of Alex’s bike. He seems to get all the attention and our rest stops.
Take care Freebird

Lewiston New York to Holley New York. 62 miles, 3130 miles from the Pacific. Today I have been on the road for 8 weeks. And what a great time it’s been. It’s hard to believe I only have a couple weeks left. Its late so I will be brief. We waited out an early morning thunderstorm in the hotel room. We followed the Erie Canal for the first 10 miles, and then jumped on the roadway that parallels it. Beautiful countryside. I rode with Paul and Alex all day. The wind was at our backs and the road was smooth. Biker bliss most of the day. Enjoy the pictures. It’s time for me to climb into camp happy and get some rest. take care free bird
