Today I left as the sun lit the day. I will need to get through Buffalo to pick up the Erie Canal Trail.
Riding into Buffalo and then getting onto the local bike routes to get into the city to connect with the Erie Canal Trail was a clusterfuck of road construction. Multiply detours, some marked and some not, took all my concentration.
Once I found and began the Erie Trail I relaxed and left the city behind. I rode into Lockport and visited the Lock and met some cyclists that eagerly listened to my story.
A tour guide at the Lock offered a few suggestions as to where I might set up my tent for the night. I found a very nice quiet spot along the canal to end my 82 mile day.
