Fort Erie and Niagara Falls

Russ and Dean at the Locks
July 25 - 62 miles to Fort Erie
Niagara Falls

July 26 - 46 miles to Niagara Falls and New York.  After spending most of the day at Niagara Falls, we crossed back into the United States.  The Canadian side of the falls were beautiful but a lot of tourist.  We were all glad to have a rest day today in Lewiston, New York.

July 28  - 54 miles to Holley, New York.  Had our 3rd thunderstorm last night.  We are still surprised how the storms light up the sky and the thunder seems like it is right overhead and how it can rain so hard.  When we got up and started biking, it was a drizzle but after an hour or so it started raining harder.  By the end of the day I was pretty cold.  Five flats today, Russ had one.  By mid morning, a few of us decided to book a B/B for the night.  The town of Holley is small but did have a diner for dinner.  This morning, no rain.  We are refreshed, dry and ready to ride.

We are along the Erie Canal for two days.  To wet yesterday to ride the canal so we stayed on parallel roads but today it may be dryer.

July 29 - 54 miles to Palmyra, New York.  Today we biked on the Erie Canal.  This is the second time that we have biked the canal.  We watched the bridges rise as boats went down the canal and even watched a boat go through a lock.  It was a perfect day for biking.
