Biking Across NY: 3 Utica to Albany

http://StrayCompass.com - A Travel Adventure Site

James Knott and three friends bike across the state of NY from Buffalo to Albany along the Erie Canalway Trail. It's a good opportunity to learn about the history and culture along the canal and to visit the wonderful towns and cities along the way.

@echocompany540 Thanks a lot. One of my friends rode a mountain bike with slick tires, but to do the whole trail a touring bike like the Trek 520 is recommended. Probably not a road bike because the trail is a little rough at time. A cyclocross bike might be good too.

What a great video. You guys did a wonderful job. Very simple and straightforward, but it really captured the flavor of the road and soul of upstate NY. Good narration as well.

Thanks for the kind words. It was a great trip and I hope I can do it again some time. I try to recommend it to anyone with a sense of adventure.

lol, I was checking out that trail the other day. Was on it for about 15-20 miles, and decided to turn back. Looks like fun, I might give it a go.

[AgileHProductions]

You should.  It was a fun adventure. I highly recommend it.

@sbirdsey I know. I'm all like, "You can pronounce Schenectady and Watervliet, but screw up Cohoes and Albany?" That's like not being able to tie your shoes, but able to rig a sailing frigate.
