Day three of our Eerie Canal Bicycling Trip

We were blessed with beautiful weather today as we rode from DeWitt to Chittenango. A slightly shorter ride than the last two days but with a nice visit to the Chittenango Dry Dock museum that shared so much history and an actual life sized canal boat that you could go into and get a feel for how the canalers lived.

My legs (and butt) were feeling it today. But worth it for the nice ride and canal scenery.

Bicycling the Eerie Canal

Charlie and I are bicycling 3 sections of the Eerie Canal. Yesterday, we rode out and back from Lockport which has some interesting canal history and a Discovery Center. The lock there used to have Five tiers It now has three. You ride along the canal the entire time and the scenery was beautiful with lots of farmland .

Today we started our ride near Rochester. We rode 26 miles along the canal and got rained on for the last 6 miles. It was also a scenic ride although it was more through suburbs and towns.

We are now heading towards Syracuse and will ride there tomorrow.
