The planning has started and we have determined the 8 day journey that will take us form Albany to Buffalo along the canal bike path and some bike-friendly roads. Our plans are to leave New York on the 26th of July --taking the train to Albany and then pedaling to Amsterdam (46 miles) where we will stay the night. Next day takes us to Little Falls ( 43 miles); then To Rome (35 miles); Syracuse (47 miles); Seneca Falls (48 miles); Rochester (65miles); Medina ( 40+ miles) and lastly to Buffalo ( 40 miles or so). If anyone has good friends or family along this route who we might call if we need help or advice, pass along the info please... I will check this periodically between now and when we leave but will try to file a daily) report as we pedal westward. K
