In July of 2012 Chad and I took the bikes up to Niagara Falls. We stopped at the U.S. and Canadian sides. Once we got up in Northern N.Y. we took back
roads through the Adirondack Park and into a lot of farm country. If you followed this blog before you will
know that the Adirondacks are one of the most scenic areas to ride and one of
my favorite in the country. The falls are awesome as you can imagine. It's well worth the
trip.
Not a bad view at breakfast
On the Canadian side we saw an incredible performance by Jay
Cochrane. He walks a quarter mile on a
tightrope over 50 stories up above the street.
Jay Cochrane Tightrope Skywalk 2012 Niagara Falls
In an awe-inspiring event, Jay Cochrane, Canada’s
Prince of the Air, continues the Summer of Skywalks in the Niagara region.
Beginning July 6th, Skywalk 2012 will cross a 400 m
(quarter mile) distance over 50-stories in the sky as Jay Cochrane performs the
greatest building-to-building skywalk in North American history for twelve
weeks in Niagara Falls, Canada.
Cochrane will walk the wire daily at 7 p.m. (weather
permitting), traveling a distance well over 20 miles (30 kilometers) between
two structures in his 88 scheduled performances.
During the length of the performance schedule, Cochrane
will pass several milestones for cumulative distance on a single wire, with
celebrations to match. Niagara is your adventure vacation destination during
the Summer of Skywalks.
Then it was off to Port Dover. The town of Port Dover is on the north shore
of Lake Erie in Ontario. On every Friday the 13th since 1981 the town turns into a
bike rally. From my understanding this
is on EVERY Friday the 13th, winter, summer, spring and fall. We were there 7/13/12 and it was expected to
be the biggest one to date.
