New York - The Empire State

Our riding day began with a police motorcycle escort out of Erie. It was nice to be able to go through red lights without stopping.

It was a beautiful day for biking with blue skies and minimal winds. We had a very nice, wide berm with little traffic most of the way. The scenery was mostly vineyards and nice views of Lake Erie.
We entered New York State about 20 miles into our 81 mile ride. We stopped at an old lighthouse on our way to Hamburg, New York.




We arrived at the hotel around 1:00 p.m. Average speed was 16.6. Tomorrow is a big climbing day to Canandaigua, New York. We'll be riding in NY for 4 more days.

  1. We're keeping up with you. Biking in NY reminds us of the time we were in the same area. Yesterday, we drive through Yutz and thought of you on the last bike and boat. Keep up the good work on that tandem.
