Found Wifi. Erie PA.

Just got to Erie Pennsylvania. Upstate New York was (mostly) a pain in the ass. Warmshowers.org host fed me. I showered. I ate ice cream, cake, sloppy Joes, pasta salad, baked beans, more sloppy joes, and drank beer. I'm going to sleep in a bed tonight. I am not politely starving. That's for sure.

Thanks Leo.

A quick update. Brett and I are starting our eleventh day on the road tomorrow. We have not murdered each other as of yet. 

Where we have been 
Portland ME - Chatham NH
Chatham NH - Piermont NH
Piermont NH- Middlebury VT
Middlebury VT - Long Lake NY
Long Lake NY - Boonville NY
Boonville NY - Fulton NY
Fulton NY - Sodus Point (rest day)
Sodus Point NY - Holley NY
Holley NY - Evangola State Park NY
Evangola State Park NY - Erie PA 

 - Excited to be heading into Ohio tomorrow. Hopefully the flat riding continues. 

*Most rides are on Strava.com. Most rides average around 23km/h.

Entering New York. 
I was young and naive of what lay ahead.

Rained all day from Long Lake to Boonville. 
I'm going to erase that day from memory. 

Trying to find free camping. 
Stumbled upon an abandoned town. 
Promptly departed. 
Before I got knifed. 

Campsite in Sodus Point. 

Locks on Erie Canal

Eighty or so miles on the cinder path. 
Good times. 
There was a headwind. 

Rowers in Buffalo. 
Buffalo was awful to bike through. 
Not recommended. 

Sunset after 170km or riding into Evangola State Park. 
It looks a lot better in person. 
For real.

As Promised: The similarities of a touring bike and a bear. 
1) They both have teeth. 
2) You can ride both of them. 
 - That's about it. I've had a lot of time to think about it. 
Something Like That. 





Thanks for reading. I'll update when I find Wifi.
