It Begins – Hartford to the Taconic Valley
Some bulls at one of those angsty CT prep schools. |
There is a Cherolis reunion on September 5thin Santa Claus, Indiana. I haven’t seen the family in a while and I decided to make the trek – by bicycle. A bit absurd, I know. Many reasonable persons have asked, “Why? Wouldn’t flying make more sense?” Of course flying would be faster, but it wouldn’t fulfill the triangular route bike tour I’d been building in my head. Here’s the overall outline for those with a short attention span. It came to me in a dream.
- Hartford, CT to Albany, and West across New York on the Erie Canal path.
- Then down into Ohio and Indiana to visit family.
- After the reunion, turn east and follow the Ohio River valley all the way to West Virginia.
- North to Pittsburgh and a relaxing 340 miles on the Great Allegheny Passage and C&O Canal into Washington DC – no cars!
- Turn north and follow the East Coast Greenway all the way back to Hartford.

Another thing one finds while traveling, particularly if one likes to hang out along rail tracks and under bridges, is graffiti. While checking out the Farmington River I noticed some of the worst “angsty” graffiti I’ve ever seen. Suburban Connecticut graffiti art often leaves much to be desired. I think it may be that the best art comes from struggle and hardship. Existential crises don’t count as struggle. Not much struggle in the suburbs, and more than is deserved in our cities.
