The Erie Canal isn't the only bikepacking in the Capital Region. There are ample gravel roads, state forest and state parks to create a fun trip within shouting distance of the state capitol. This photo is taken at the intersection of the fire tower trail at Grafton Lakes State Park where I'd catch a sunset from the cab of the tower.

"We opted to do a much less invovled weekend, basically just a bike camping trip vs a bikepacking trip. Sleeping outside, having a campfire, and just being away from the world is good enough sometimes."

Happy 100th birthday in heaven to the great composer Morton Feldman! Here is a minute of his final composition “Piano, Violin, Viola, Cello” from our performance with pianist Dan Tepfer at the New York Studio School, where Feldman was the Dean from 1969 to 1971. What an incredible experience to be immersed in his music, especially in this space – oh how we’d love to play this piece again.
