July 2025-We will be doing a one day adventure between our two 1 week long tours. This is after the 326 mile ride on the Ohio to Erie Trail (in Ohio) and before the Erie Canal Trail 360 mile ride starting in Buffalo going to Albany.
We are staying overnight at the Candlewood Suites in Erie. We can meet there at 6pm in lobby then go out for dinner at 630 for dinner for those who are interested. I reserved 8 rooms and only need 1. Cancellable until June 1. $174 a night with taxes, email me if you want one njriverman@yahoo.com. The hotel has free parking and the Suites have kitchens but breakfast is on your own. Hotels with breakfast were 200+.
The next day we will bike 9 miles, then there is the opportunity to kayak or canoe for 1 hours. Then we bike about 7 miles and stop for ice cream and food, I guess I should say food then ice cream lol.See 81 photos from this last year at Rails to Trails Bike Trips FACEBOOK

Experience small-town Italy like a local on a slowcation… Tuscany conjures up dreams of life at a slower pace where you can soak in the Italian countryside’s culture, food, and picturesque vistas. Stroll through narrow passageways of medieval villages perched on hilltops. Pick out cheese & wine at the market in town and chat with the locals. Tuscany is the dream vacation and now is your chance to go!
Live like a local: Skip the hoards of tourists in Italy’s more popular towns and cities and live the good life in a true Italian village with barely any tourists. If you want to experience the real Italy, this is your chance!
Ideal location: This villa was converted into a hotel in the early 1900s and is situated right in town making it easy to explore. A cafe, grocery store, and many restaurants are just a few steps away from your accommodation.
Discover Italy: Many of Tuscany & Umbria’s most famous towns are only 30 – 45 minutes away from the hotel so you can explore all the best locations in the region without going far.
