Monday morning. Mike and Hallie riding along the original towpath
about 16 miles east of Medina.
|
 |
More riders on the towpath.
|
 |
Riding along!
|
 |
Richard waves. (There were several Richards on the tour!)
|
 |
The morning rest stop in Holley, about 21 miles from Medina.
|
 |
This is south of Rochester. The canal is on the right (looking
east) and the Genesee river flows to the left which carries it
through Rochester and out to Lake Ontario.
|
 |
I got to the afternoon rest stop just in time to take a side tour
into downtown Rochester to see the High Falls -- a substantial
waterfall right in the middle of downtown. This shot is taken
towards the south from the middle of the pedestrian bridge across the
Genesee river. We're on our way to an overlook on the east side
of the river.

A close-up of the falls.

Across the river from the overlook. The building with the spire
on top is the Kodak building. The bridge in the foreground is the
pedestrian bridge where the some of the earlier photos were
taken.
|
 |
The cyclists at the overlook. In the background is the Genesee
Brewery. I'm told that they don't actually use Genesee river
water to make the beer. When I asked "why is it located right on
the river then?", I was told it was to use the river as a source
of power.
|
 |
After we crossed back over the Genesee River and a couple of
riders did TV interviews, we had a quick tour of a museum in the
old water works building. Here, our tour guide on the right and
four cyclists admire a Holley pump.
|
 |
Back at the afternoon rest stop in Genesee Valley Park which is
next to the Genesee River and just south of the University of
Rochester.
|
 |
Tent city at Nazareth College in Pittsford. The truck behind the
light standard is the luggage truck. In Pittsford, I found a
camera shop and got a 32Mb flash card for the camera. There was
no longer a worry about running out of picture space. Also, Jane
and I had a nice dinner at a prime rib restaurant.
