The terrain was much like yesterday with rolling hills and plenty of small towns.
We crossed the Erie canal, details below.
The Erie Canal is a waterway in New York that travels about 363 miles (584 km) from Albany, New York, on the Hudson River to Buffalo, New York, at Lake Erie, completing a navigable water route from the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes. The canal contains 36 locks and encompasses a total elevation differential of approximately 565 ft. (169 m). First proposed in 1807, it was under construction from 1817 to 1825 and officially opened[1] on October 26, 1825.
-Like our canals it is now used for leisure boating.
There is definitely a feeling that the end of the ride is approaching with only 4 full riding days left. Everyone is focused on staying safe and well to get to the end.
I felt a noise on the bike when climbing hills today and when I got to the hotel noticed the chain was about to come apart. Fortunately the team had a spare.
Photo is not very good.
I do carry spare links however a new chain is now fitted.
Two of our riders live very close to here so we had a number of supporters at the side of the road, which was really nice.
Just checked my MS site and it is standing at £4,507, Heather has £60 people have given her and still some to come from people who have promised an amount when I finish. So pleased with people's support and contributions.
Off to search for some beer!
