Aloha, Robert. Good to see you're still riding. I recently read River Horse, by William Least Heat Moon ( of Blue Highways fame). He followed your Low Bridge route, albeit by water.
Good read!
Cheers!

Yes, there are many things to learn. Like remembering water bottles need to be put back on the bike. Straps dangling from panniers can/will get caught in the breaks and dozens of other needs and concerns I do without thinking after years on the road but my freshmen charges need to learn. On the tire front we've had no flats and the crushed stone trail has tires at low pressure and need little tending. All the oversight and tour moderating has pretty much blocked out journal time but being with family on the road is its own story and hopefully told by all.
Thanks for the comments and encouragement.

3 weeks agoWhat a delight to have three generations cycling together on the Erie Canal. I rode most of the canal last June and look forward to following along.

Astonishing. Maybe we should have gone when we were in the neighborhood.
