Day 12 Syracuse NY to Little Falls NY

The ride today was 78 miles, average speed 16.7 mph, 1600 feet gain in elevation, 4 hours 41 minutes of riding time. 4200 calories expended. Cumulative miles 958.
We had a nice ride today, rode along the Erie Canal for a long time. I was riding in a pace line for along time. The first Sag stop had a couple of ponds and a lot of us were skipping stones. The smallest chapel in the world was on a platform in one of the ponds. It is called Cross Island Chapel in Oneida, NY. Built in 1989 floor area of 51 inches by 81 inches, it seats two people.
Lots of the people on the ride are saying that New York is one of the prettiest states on the ride,
In Little Falls we walked to the barge canal and saw a boat go through a lock. The lock keeper was explaining the working to the group.

Posted by Ann, we might skip a day in posting. I am going to drive to meet Dave tomorrow and follow along to Boston. We might be able to update the blog with some pictures and route info from Dave's Garmin once we get it connected to the computer.
