      @FollowThomas  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes you should. New York State is great. Lots of beautiful waterfalls, reeks, bridges, rocks and canyons. You can ride part of it or all 750 miles over time.

    Really cool bridge! This trail is beautiful! It looks like good weather. I love all the lakes! How do you stay warm when you camp? Thanks for taking us with you!

    • @FollowThomas

      New York is a beautiful state. Lots of waterfalls, lakes, creeks, rocks and canyons. It doesn't feel cold when camping because my sleeping bag is with liner and can handle freezing temps if needed and it's warmer inside the tent too. Also, if need I can layer myself up inside the sleeping bag. I'm well prepared.

    • @FloridaandBeyond
      @FloridaandBeyond ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @FollowThomas it sounds like it. We camped when the night was cold last year and had to eventually go inside the truck. It was so 🥶. Looks like you had a lot of fun! 🙂

    Nothing like riding in fall weather up north. You really have the train thing figured out. I thought the number of bikes were limited on each train. Have you ever had an issue with that?

    • @FollowThomas
      @FollowThomas  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, sometimes I can't get the bike space so I have to change my travel plans but usually it's available if you plan ahead. Early reservation is the key to getting cheaper tickets and bike space.

    Great Stretch of trail here in the mid Hudson area. The Poughkeepsie Bridge is awesome. I have ridden it twice. FYI - I gave you a shout out on my latest video: th-cam.com/video/bX-vs-DZ0ZE/w-d-xo.html.
