Seems like I've been here before Middleport , NY

June 21, 2025

Another day with highs and lows.

Highs included meeting Craig, TAILWINDS, free camping Middleport, generally wonderful trail riding from Buffalo to Lockport.

Lows, including losing the new tire i bought in Saginaw, trying to figure out getting over the Peace Bridge, customs, a flat tire.

T his and the next are neighbors. Could be beautiful.

The NY side was gorgeous with generally very nice trails.

So I cross the Peace bridge and promptly get a flat. Fortunately, I just bought a new tire because the new one I bought in Saginaw, fell off the front rack, never to be seen again. While changing the tire a very kindly gentle person came to my assistance. What a nice being of generosity. . A pleasure meeting Craig. Then I inadvertently got to see a small party of downtown Buffalo. What I saw was both urban decay and wonderful buildings..oh and a demonstration. So kind of fun. Then the tailwind just kept the good vibes going. Finally, arriving at Middleport, I came to the free camping. AMAZING. Right on the canal, electric, and a cold shower available, and a laundry. What a great way to end an otherwise decidedly mixed day. A few lows but the highs were so much greater.

Today's ride: 85 miles (137 km)
Total: 1,984 miles (3,193 km)
