That route reminded me of the Owasco Flyer. I did that race shortly after getting back on the bike a couple years ago. I don't recall why, but a friend and I decided the best way to try racing was to drive up to the Finger Lakes and do that one. We had fun, went fast for awhile, got shelled, took a dip in the lake and drove home. I feel like I need to go do that thing again. I still dunno why.

That is a really beautiful area!
