Good! I'll look forward to reading about it here! I really think there will be much more a benefit to merchants and tourism oriented businesses, than to towpath users. So, I gues I questioned the value of attending for myself. My thinking is that beyond sending an email comment to the Parks and Trails round table people, the most beneficial thing I could contribute to a meeting geared to attracting business investment would be a written perspective and a link to my journal. I sent some thoughts in an email note mentioning my feelings about the importance of the towpath and it's overall value as a resource. There would not be much more I could contribute to a meeting. If you want company on the way out to Seymour, I'd be glad to accompany you from my house via O-P Townline, Gordon, and Sweden Walker Roads; then down Brockport's East Avenue and your there (about 5miles from my house). A flatter route is Ridge Road to Sweden Walker Road and then East Avenue. A Complete "Towpath Route" from your home would be about 55+/- miles round trip Bruce, I had not realized you were planning on attending the round table meeting. Good!

Just so we'll both know ahead of our next ride. I'll need you to wait at the top of the hills so I can catch up. But then, just coasting down the hill I'll build up so much momentum I'll need to ride the brakes so as not to seem like a hot dog. The fact is your climbing ability has become pronouncibly superior especially over the longer hauls! I don't quit, but I know my style has got to be somewhat stifling for a biker of your capacity. Perhaps a "towpath ride" would be the best kind of ride for you and me to team up on. I'm thinking that the towpath lends itself to a more steady fat-burning state of riding. Any thoughts on that suggestion? O.K. Bruce!
