Cycling the Erie Canal, Final post

These are Bea Joyce, Lynn Kalfelz, Lamar Martin and Art Wagner as they finished the Erie Canal Ride, 400 miles in eight days. A great ride except for the one day we took a hotel suite of rooms due to heavy rain in Central New York (over 4" in fact that day, broke that days record in Central New York). The day of not riding allowed us to get clothes washed and dry everything out that had gotten wet the previous night of rain. This is a unique event and I believe all our group would recommend it to others. Our method of a van supporting the riders and taking a canopy for shade and rain protection was a very good idea. Those who rode a bus to Buffalo and the only way back to Albany was by bicycle couldn't carry these things and suffered badly in the rain at Syracuse.
