Day 4 - Seneca Falls to Syracuse

Day 4 getting ready to ride 42 miles our easy day mileage wise but there is some climbing… Traffic, hills, bike lanes, back to the original canal, history of Clinton’s ditch, NY Pizza, nice flat canal tow path, then uphill into Syracuse. Thunderstorm warning! Possible hail! Seek shelter immediately!!

This is a place where the canal used to flow through an aqueduct over a stream. The aqueduct was made of wood supported by rock and carried the water over the stream.

A memorial garden along the trail where the family of the young man who died were providing cyclists with cold water and icee pops. Just what we needed.

The water gets pretty murky along some parts of the old canal.

Our trusty steeds are getting pretty grimy from the stone dust on the trail.

It’s wet out there! At times the rain was falling sideways… our tent was upright when we got back to it but we had puddles of water inside with some wet clothes etc.

Jane FletcherAfter the evening rain the weather moved in through. We had puddles in the tent and wet clothes but the sleeping bags stayed dry.
