Day 39 - Little Falls, NY





World's Smallest Church...





World's Largest Cow...









A relatively easy day of riding took us to Little Falls, New York nestled in the Mohawk River Valley and the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains. The city is home to Lift Lock 17 on the contemporary Erie Canal that is one of the highest canal lift locks in the world.
It was a somber day for me after my friend Roy and I collided while riding early in the day. Although I was unhurt, Roy went down and spent much of the day being checked out by doctors before being released and RIDING to the hotel where he arrived earlier this evening . The mishap was a graphic reminder that while we have logged more than 3,000 miles, we're not yet at the finish line and vigilance remains paramount.

  1. Careful...you guys have come too far to collide now!
    I rode this morning down in San Diego where I discovered large roads, bike lanes, and nice rollers. Cool addition to an otherwise business trip.
