(^180) Schenectady – Waterford - 40 km
A short ride led to the end of the Erie Canal Trail, where I had
difficulty deciding what to do next. I could follow the Hudson River
north to see the fall colours or head straight to Boston, from where I
planned to fly out, as there was a chill in the air. Eventually, I wasn't
sure the detour north would be worth the effort, so I headed towards
Boston.
Waterford – Pittsfield - 76 km
My route first led me through the historic town of Troy, a remarkably
fascinating village situated at the confluence of the Hudson and
Mohawk Rivers (two major waterways)—a location which made Troy
the fourth wealthiest city in America around the turn of the 20th
century. To this day, Troy is graced by beautiful Victorian architecture
and a few elaborate private homes.
From Troy, the route headed east towards Boston. Feeling lethargic
and picking up a $20 bill, I opted for a room at the Berkshire Inn.
