Erie Canal day 5

Another 50 miles from Syracuse to Rome. A mix of trails and road. The canal in this area is not a transport canal, more of a cultural relic and small tourist attraction. Big carp all throughout.

Tomorrow we're going to roll out with the group then come back to our hotel, shower up, then drive down to NYC. No plans other than a run in Central Park. Lame, right?

From the brewery last night:



Rolling out of Syracuse:



Where they drydocked the canal boats for repairs:



Getting near our hotel, checking maps:



We have not run much at all this week, and don't care.

bike tour 2010 summer vacation

Bri and I are off for our summer vacation this weekend. We're driving to Buffalo NY to ride in a bike tour along the Erie Canal. The tour itself is 8 days, but we're going to check out 2 days early in order to spend an evening in NYC and then a couple of days on the Jersey shore. It should be a lot of fun.

These tours tend to be slanted to retirees but there are usually a few younger folks like ourselves.

I am busy so this update is short and to the point.
