Erie Canal & Genesee Riverway Trails Ride

A slight variation of most of our canal trail rides, in that this one once it gets to Genesee Valley Park goes north into the city before heading back. Ridden entirely on the bike path for 16 miles, it's a great way to get into the city with no traffic.

Being on the bike path of course means it is flat. This ride goes over the river in the park on the Waldo Neilsen Memorial Bridge (a cofounder of the bike club!) which offers a great view of the river and canal intersection. I am always amazed at how 2 bodies of water can come together like that!
