Looking at the Falls

August 10, 2021

Today is a short day as we want to have time to spend doing touristy stuff at Niagara Falls. We ride a bike lane off of Grand Island and then over the north bridge. Then we get on a bike path that takes us right to Niagara Falls. We do some sightseeing and then follow the bike path to Whirlpool State Park and do some more sightseeing. We then follow the bike path to Lewiston where we have a room reserved at Niagara Crossing Hotel & Spa. Unfortunately the spa is booked up so no massages for us ☹️

We did have a bit of a problem today. At one point we needed to cross a pedestrian bridge. This bridge had a very steep ramp up that had a couple of 180 turns. Janet stopped to walk around one turn and when she got on and started the gearing was bad and her foot was stuck in the clips. Down she went at 1 mph. She twisted her knee a little but could continue riding. We are hoping it doesn’t stiffen up over night. We are now debating if the fall was a failure to mount or a fall.

Tomorrow we go inland and start riding the Erie Canal Bike path, which we will be on for a couple of days.
