Empire State Trail – Buffalo to NYC

In June I embarked on a lifelong goal to bike from Buffalo to NYC on the Empire State Trail. I chronicled my journey, including selecting gear, building an itinerary, and a day by day journey of my ride on [www.newyorkbikeworld.com](https://www.newyorkbikeworld.com). After biking 12 days from Buffalo to NYC, I have learned a lot about cycling and trails, especially in the state of New York. I commented particularly on trail conditions in many areas, as well as food options (not great in upstate ny) as well as where I stayed (hotels/motels). I hope you enjoy my chronicles:
