We biked from Seneca Falls to Syracuse, which was 44 miles. It was quite a hot day, but we made it! We started by exploring the museums around Seneca Falls. We stopped at the Womens Rights National Heritage Park Visitor Center and the Seneca Falls Visitor Center/ Museum of Waterways and Industry. We then biked through Montezuma Wildlife Refuge to Port Byron to see the progress of Lock 52 that you can now access from the Thruway (its shaping up to be a really neat site). We had lunch in Weedsport and made our way into Syracuse where we spent the night. We enjoyed Empire Brewing Company for dinner and drinks and had a great nights sleep at our hotel.

Day 5: Syracuse to Lock 21 outside of Rome, 38 miles. Today was a gorgeous day for a ride with cool weather and lots of great museums. We started the day in Syracuse at the Onondaga Historical Association and the Erie Canal Museum (Both great institutions with lots of great objects and exhibits). We then rode to Chittenango Landing Canal Boat Museum to see their excavated dry docks. Out next stop after that was Canastota where we were able to sneak in a quick visit at the Canastota Canal Town Museum before they closed for the day. We biked to Lock 21 to complete our biking for the day then drove back to Sylvan Beach to spend the night. 
I met up with Vicki from the Erie Canal Museum, who does a wonderful job running their social media.
