I biked both the Ohio to Erie Trail and The Erie Canalway Trail in 2023! Both great but the Erie Canalway definitely was more complete and the better of the two. I am ready to bike The Rock Island and Katy Trail across Missouri in 2024. However, the Erie across NY was so nice I might do that again too.😊

Hi from New Zealand. About 4 years ago four of us Kiwis rode from Chicago heading East. We happened to come across Lockport - and carried on to past Syracuse (Amtrack back). No real planning - just ride and follow our noses. Yes, we had heard of the canal (there was even an old school song about it) but didn't know we were about to see it! So great to follow the canal towpath (mostly) after Lockport. I'll always have fond memories of this section of our trip especially. Now back to my WinTrainer in the garage re-riding the much of route, together with you. Thanks so much :)

I used to live in Fairport in the 90’s. Well before the trail was embraced by many communities. Pittsford and Fairport were leaders. The trail to the east sometimes seems to be running between two canals as you point out. This is because when the canal was expanded into the Barge canal in the early 20th century, some sections of the original canal were “bypassed” and new, wider canals were dug - sometimes running along the old ones as east of Fairport. The narrower waterway is the original 1862 canal renovation. The wider one is the 1918 expansion.

I enjoyed the video and it was nice to see the trail and follow along with your adventure. The only critique I have is the look you applied to the video. It's like you used "Blockbuster" from the Magic Bullet Looks Suite. The darks are just crushed so hard that I kept on finding myself wishing that I could see more detail and the sky had a strange yellow tinge that's characteristic of that look. It's your creative expression and as long as you're happy with the way the video ended up, that's all that really matters. For me, it just kept pulling me out, which is a shame because I really wanted to immerse myself in your trip. (I watched on a high end 4K Sony TV and my cell, but it was the same experience for me on both.)

Thanks for the reply and, well, it’s a complicated response. First of all, I agree with your assessment 100%. At that time, I was taking a video production class and was intrigued by color grading. I spent WAY too much time on it and, combined with my ignorance, the result was a mess. About six months later, I returned to using default color settings and only correcting when something was just super off. If you look at my latest vids (from about a year ago to now), I think the colors are more natural. I’ve thought about redoing some of the messy vids and republishing but I’ve got too much current content to get out. Lesson: sometimes simple is better. 😊 Lesson 2: color correction is an art and requires a lot of time, practice and patience, all of which I rarely have. Lesson 3: pro color correction is subtle but a lot of classes make it a centerpiece. I talked to a professional documentarian a few months back and he was showing me how he was adding A PERCENT of adjustment to his content! One percent change. 😂 Anyway, thanks for watching anyway. I hope my later stuff looks better.

Thanks for the great video. I am hoping to ride this trail sometime this fall. Hopefully early in the fall since I know their weather can turn pretty cold very early in the season. I'm planning to do the train from Albany to Buffalo and was wondering if you parked at the Amtrak station and how expensive it was. I'm hoping I can manage to do this as Amtrak canceled bike service on their Maple Leaf line as of July 1 so the only option left is the Empire line, which has been filling up with bikes ever since. I rode the train from DC to Pittsburgh last year for the GAP/C&O trail and it's such a great way to begin a bike tour. I'm hopefully going to be doing a lot of camping along the Erie trail but it's nice to know that hotel accommodations are available if needed. I'm surprised that you don't ride with a Garmin or Kamoot GPS to help keep you on track. It certainly helped me quite a few times on the GAP. Keep up the epic rides. Hope to see you on the trail sometime. Cheers

Don’t hold me to it but I think it was like $70 for the week. As I recall, there were tiers and I wanted to park in a covered area which was slightly more expensive. There was plenty of parking. The train I was on had room for four bikes ($20). I absolutely loved this trail. I’d totally do it again but I would camp this time. If you take video/photos, please share-I’d love to se your experiences. Yes, I need to rethink my mapping strategy. Getting lost is fun the first few times-not so much after so many miles. 😉

I remember a day in the mid 80's in Rochester's Genesee Valley Park, with me and my buddy, each on a different side of the canal, tossing an Aerobie back and forth, There were no trails to speak of back then, but I have followed the progress of the trail expansion over the years, and it's great to see it complete, less a few missing signs and a gap here & there. 3 years ago, I did a similar ride thru Ohio on their amazing trail network, and to get there I drove thru most of what you rode in N.Y. Now I need to go back, visit some family, and ride it on my bike. Thank you for sharing.

I live in the eastern part of the canal area (Schenectady and Amsterdam). It was wonderful seeing some familiar sights and to be honest I'm not that familiar with Western New York. I can identify with you on wanting coffee in Amsterdam. I'm not sure when you went on your trip, but there are now several eateries on the south side of Amsterdam (just look straight down the street from Amsterdam Castle). Guge's Dogs on Bridge Street serves a very hearty breakfast. Then when riding through Lower Rotterdam Junction, there is the Hungry Chicken. They bake the best cinnamon rolls ever. Sometimes when I extra time for my commute (on bike) I stop there and lounge in an Adirondack chair while eating.

like your videos, like the history explained. you just show yourself too much. video the trail while you talk, not yourself so much.

During this whole trip we don’t even know where you are and it’s like I’m in the first day of you traveling and you said something about over there I don’t know what you said. Let me some graffiti on the wall after that. Where are you? What are you doing? Not explaining where you are and stuff you know what I mean it’s like I know this is your journey, but you’ve chosen to lead us out of it, but not telling us where you are.

I try to include callouts with town names periodically. I mean, to each his own. I like to just “ride along” when I watch people’s trips hence the name of the channel. I’m trying to get better at narration. Regardless, thanks for the feedback. Just trying to get better with each video.
