First breakfast at the
Springside Inn.
The official send off, in pouring rain, for the
Bot Ton Roulet which means "Let the Good Times Roll".
Day 1 route begins in Auburn, around the top of Owasco Lake, the east side of Skaneateles Lake, along Otisco Lake, to Little York, and ending at Cortland. A 49 mile journey.
The elevation for day 1. 2,100 feet of climbing.
Over and down the first hill climb of the ride, another one up ahead, many more to come :)
View of the Auburn Golf Couse.
Waiting for the sun to shine.
Can you say Skaneateles four times? (pronunciation: "skany-atlas," preferred, or "skinny-atlas" common)
Skaneateles Lake means long lake in Iroquois. It is the highest of the Finger Lakes at altitude 863 feet and is 16 miles long.
Enjoying a Bumbleberry Pie-filled with apples, fresh assorted berries, and rhubarb.
I need a shirt like that. All I hear is "On your left!" and those annoying bicycle bells.
It's Sunday morning and most shops are closed-too bad.
Roads stretch on endlessly, occasionally decorated with wild flowers.
Miles and miles, hours and hours of farmland, mostly corn and wheat.
Visited a
Vicugna pacos farm aka Alpaca. These have just gotten a haircut.
Stopped by Frog Pond Farm along Rt 281 in Little York. Carole Ferro is one of "The Ferro Family Artists".
Enjoy some of the
FERROART.

A late lunch at roadside Bob's Barbecue just before heading into Cortland. It took us 7hrs:30min including stops. Average speed 9.9 MPH.
