We started off our
2nd day of cycling the
Erie Canal from the
Clifford Wise Middle School in Medina, then headed back to the
Erie Canal Heritage Trail where we left off yesterday at Prospect Avenue in the Ridgeway section of Medina.

| Medina Lift Bridge, Prospect Avenue and Ryan Street |
and
Culvert Road, the only road that goes under the canal.
At this point, my friend realized she had forgotten her medication, which she absolutely needed to take, so at the next rest stop in Albion,
we had the help of organizers to try to get the medication from the
Rite-Aid in town. We passed by several places in town along the way.
 |
| Post Office, 8 South Main Street |
Unfortunately, insurance would not cover another order of medication, so my friend was forced to sit out part of the day until she could get her medication from her luggage. I left at this point, passing by Hulberton in the town of Murray

on the way to Holley, another village in Murray,
 |
| Holley Lift Bridge, 36 East Avenue |
where we had a rest stop at the Holley Canal Park at ~28 East Avenue,
when I was about to leave the rest stop, the East Avenue bridge I was to cross was lifted for a boat to pass through,
so I had to wait for a little bit more before the barrier was finally lifted for us to pass.
Here, I met my friend who had finally gotten her medication, and was waiting for me to arrive so we could go on a bike tour of downtown Rochester.
then onto the
University of Rochester campus
on the way to downtown Rochester on the
Genesee Riverway Trail.

In downtown Rochester, we headed toward
High Falls,

| Court Street Dam, 99 Court Street |
 |
| Thomson Reuters, 50 West Broad Street |
 |
| Inner Loop Bridge, 183 State Street |
 |

 |
Giant Chair Like Sculpture,
Platt Street and Brown's Race
|
 |
| Bausch Memorial Bridge, 99 Smith Street |
heading onto the
Pont de Rennes bridge,
where the views of High Falls were simply magnificent.
At the other end of the bridge was the
Genesee Brew House,
which we chose not to visit out of fear of getting lost without our guide, and a painted horse sculpture from
Horses on Parade perched atop a building at 409 St. Paul Street.
From here, it was back to the Waterways Park, passing by several places,
including views of the dome at University of Rochester.
Back at the Waterways Center, my friend and I decided to go kayaking
on the Genesee River,
but we decided to stop soon after as it was raining.
From here, it was back to cycling, passing
Lock 33 in Henrietta,
and finally understanding where water that is pumped out from between the locks go further downstream.
Proceeding into Pittsford,
where
Lock 32 is located,
we cycled past
Schoen Place
 |
| Giant Golf Ball, 21 Schoen Place |
onto the State Street Bridge
to get to our campsite for the day at
Jefferson Road Elementary School.
After setting up camp, my friend and I took the shuttle back to Schoen Place, where we walked around the small shopping area for a bit

before heading back to rest for the day. Along the way, it was interesting to see a crossing at Boughton Street where you can actually carry a flag to warn drivers of your presence while crossing State Street.
With that, our second day of cycling the Erie Canal came to an end.
the St. John's Episcopal Church in the distance,
At this point, my friend realized she had forgotten her medication, which she absolutely needed to take, so at the next rest stop in Albion,
Gorgeous colour palette!!
