1000 Mile Trekkers Bike Through the Finger Lakes

Today we had the pleasure of biking in-between the scenic finger lakes, following Seneca Lake to Cayuga Lake. We saw many farms, horse-drawn buggies, rolling blue hills in the background and the slated rocks of the gorges breaking into the blue water. We stopped for a swim in Lake Seneca and it was so cool and refreshing on a hot summer day. After the century day yesterday, we decided to treat ourselves to a delicious diner breakfast this morning, which has become one of our favorite ways to treat ourselves on this trip. We were super groggy and slow this morning, but finally got a rhythm going in the afternoon. We passed through some really quaint towns along the way, including Ovid, where a small farmers market was happening and we got some free baked goods and coffee. We also had fun passing through Trumansburg, which seems to have a very vibrant community and there was a music and dance festival happening. Later, we made it to our campground at Treman State Park and made a campfire while making pasta. We look forward to taking the day off tomorrow and doing some hiking and swimming in the park!
