It looks as though the trail between Lyons and Port Byron is largely on the road. (Roads). Is that true? If so, how are they?

I just finished the ride from Buffalo to Albany yesterday, and you are correct, much of the ride between Lyons and Port Byron is on the road. As I recall, most of the road had a nice shoulder and not too much traffic. Most passing cars/trucks provided a wide berth, so it didn't feel too dangerous to me. As a side note, we had planned to stop at Hejamada campground during this segment (in Montezuma), but the campground did not meet our basic requirements so we moved on. Ended up staying in a Days Inn in Weedsport.

Joe Z— hejamada is where we are headed. What basic requirements weren’t met? Thanks for the heads up re the route.

Patricia R: Out of respect to the Hejamada owners and long-term residents, I'd rather have this discussion through email. You can send me an email at josephzierer@gmail.com and I'll provide some feedback.

I like visiting cool stores like record and book stores. Are their any along the ride. I'm riding from Pittsford to Syracuse.
