Cayuga Lake Loop

Fall is upon us, but you'd never know it from the weather. Today's forecast was sunny and mid-70's so I decided to get in a good ride. There aren't too many weekends left, and you never know what the weather will be in our fall season.

I've always wanted to see Cayuga Lake, the longest of New York's Finger Lakes, at just under 40 miles long. So my journey today took me south to Canandaigua, through Naples, east to Hammondsport, through Watkins Glen, over to Ithaca, and up the west shore of Cayuga Lake.

As I was heading north on Route 89 up Cayuga Lake, I stopped at Taughannock Falls in the Taughannock State Park. It turned out to be a great spot to stop, stretch, and admire a gorgeous view of the Falls. This is one of the highest Falls east of the Mississippi at over 250 feet. I'ts well worth the stop!

My route took me over 200 miles and lasted much of the day. It was a marvelous day for a long ride and I hope to be able to get in a couple more like this before the snow flies. The bike now has over 9000 miles on her, and the tires are now in need of replacement. Last week I ordered a Metzeler 880 for the rear, and a Metzeler Z6 for the front. This Wednesday I have an appointment at Hollink Motorsports to have them mounted and balanced. Can't wait to try them out!
