We met outside the hotel at 6:45 to get an early start before the day got too hot, but it was already 26° and humid. We had about a 6 km ride back to where we left the trail yesterday and fortunately the roads weren’t as busy as when we arrived two days ago. HereContinue reading “Erie Canalway – Day 6 – Rochester to Weedsport”

Erie Canalway – Day 5 – Rochester Rest Day
David and Dayle are very early risers so David got to work on Dayle‘s bike, and discovered that the derailleur hanger wasn’t broken so he was able to repair the issues himself. Cindy and I had a swim and then breakfast and there was still plenty of time before we had agreed to meet inContinue reading “Erie Canalway – Day 5 – Rochester Rest Day”
Erie Canalway – Day 4 – Lockport to Rochester
The forecast high today was predicted to reach 31 so we decided to be on the road by 7 AM. We were staying just outside of Lockport with only a short ride from the hotel on roads to get to the trail. We passed the lovely county office building, and shortly thereafter came to theContinue reading “Erie Canalway – Day 4 – Lockport to Rochester”
Erie Canalway – Day 3 – Buffalo to Lockport
As I began to upload pictures to my website after writing the text for day three, my website crashed. My son does all the technical stuff for me so I contacted him, but it ended up taking weeks to sort out the issue and get it back online. So I continued to choose the picturesContinue reading “Erie Canalway – Day 3 – Buffalo to Lockport”
Erie Canalway- Day 2 – Niagara Falls to Buffalo
The hotel offered a breakfast of refined carbs which we took advantage of, but isn’t my preference, and I was hungry again by mid-morning. Before setting off, we headed to the R. Nathaniel Dett Chapel, which, according to the historic plaque is “an important community icon (which)… bears witness to the early black settlement of theContinue reading “Erie Canalway- Day 2 – Niagara Falls to Buffalo”
Erie Canalway- Day 1 – Brampton to Niagara Falls
David and Dayle, Cindy and I started planning this trip back in February. Because we have cycled much of Waterfront Trail between Toronto and Niagara Falls we decided to shorten the trip by a day by taking the GO train between Port Credit and Niagara Falls. Originally we had planned to leave tomorrow, but onContinue reading “Erie Canalway- Day 1 – Brampton to Niagara Falls”
Bratislava 2 – Day 14
I decided to go to Danubiana Art Museum, 20 km south of downtown Bratislava, very near the border of Slovakia, Hungary, and Austria. It opened in 2000, and was founded by Gerard Meulensteen of Eindhoven, a Dutch collector and art patron, and Vincent Polakovič, a Slovak gallerist. It’s a 22 km ride from the hotel,Continue reading “Bratislava 2 – Day 14”
Lac Morency – Day 5 – Montreal
Sadly, our time in Lac Morency came to a close this morning, but at least we had a day of riding in Montreal to anticipate. The drive to Montreal was about an hour. Then the drive home was six hours plus stopping time. We still had groceries remaining, that we brought with us, that allowedContinue reading “Lac Morency – Day 5 – Montreal”
Lac Morency – Day 3 – Saint-Agathe-des-Monts to Mont-Tremblant
We decided to get an earlier start today since we had a 35 minute drive to Saint-Agathe-des-Monts, the turnaround point on our ride two days ago. We actually drove away a few minutes before the aspirational leaving time. It wasnt raining when we left, and the forecast was only 30% chance of rain, however, asContinue reading “Lac Morency – Day 3 – Saint-Agathe-des-Monts to Mont-Tremblant”
Lac Morency – Day 2 -Rain
We knew rain was forecast to begin in the morning with the bulk of it early then tapering to an amount that isn’t terrible to ride in – at least that what’s the forecast said. It turned out that we should have been riding from 7am to 10 because when we arrived in Prévost asContinue reading “Lac Morency – Day 2 -Rain”
