We got up this morning to cold temps...we could see our breath for a while. It was a great day for riding through central NY country side...rolling hills, corn and hay fields, dairy farms, forests, and maple syrup for sale. Tonight we are at the Finger Lakes, a picturesque resort area of water activities and vacation homes. A big change from the mid-West is towns were founded in the late-1800's; in NY the the towns were founded in the late-1700's. The country towns we rode through appear to be prospering and have old stately mansions...the result of "old money".
Another milestone...we passed 3000 miles and have 400 to go! We are all starting to see the end!
Tomorrow we ride to Syracuse where we pass through more Finger Lakes, which are a series of glacier lakes about a mile wide and 20 miles long.
Stats: 95 miles, 17.1 mph avg, 3200' climbing, 55 - 67 deg temps, 10 -20 mph cross and crossing tail winds.

Jim,
Congrats on your successful ride across the U.S. Your daughter, Kelly, and I worked together at Molasky. While we were in session she would just rave about your ride. I hope someday to pick your brain and take note of your recommendation for those of us who might like to attempt such a ride.Loved your blog. Again, congratulations on your accomplishment, what a fantastic feat!!!!
