Different strokes for different folks. Where you think "Not so much to see, really", I see nice little canal towns every ten miles, lots of museums, gorgeous scenery, and peaceful riding. The last time I rode from Albany to Brooklyn the last few miles were never-ending traffic, the stink of exhaust, impatient drivers, and constant noise.
