A cold damp and raw start in the fog. Two hours later I could take off the heavy jacket and gloves.



I began riding on the Old Erie Canal Towpath within miles from town. Today I head toward Schenectady where my friends Ray and Deb lived before moving to Texas. I rode many miles with Ray in the area back in the early 2000.






The Old Erie Canal-way is rich with history. Lock 23






The Erie Canal Trail through Schenectady.






I arrived at the Visitor Center next to Lock E2 where the Mohawk River joins the Hudson River. Tonight the rain is coming and lasting through tomorrow. I will spend tomorrow here enjoying the town waiting for the rain to pass.
