Today the high was 48° with wind. Two large cities are on today’s route, Rome and Utica. I got through Rome without problems.

In Utica I lost the marking for the Erie Canalways Trail. I got onto Route 5s. I have been following this route closely most of the day so after leaving the city limits I began looking for my route. Within five miles I began seeing my route on the gps screen and I could now get back on route.
