| Yep, this is the same
gal seen earlier with her old Schwinn. It almost completed
the trip, but during the sixth day broke down. Our biking
mechanic / guru just didn't have the parts to replace, so she
rented a newer one-speed bike in order to complete the ride. |

I have a Bike Friday
(folding bike) also as does the gentleman in the above photo.
He was very adept at folding it and fitting it into its
suitcase. I have yet to learn how to do this. |
| Our
arrival point back in Albany. I highly recommend this
trip. In fact, I enjoyed it so much I'm planning to do the
Erie Canal ride in 2003 as well. There is so much to do
and see along the ride. |
