Had to check the dates - I'm glad to see it was LAST year. Hoping this winter won't last as long here on the west coast.

Yes, I can attest to the beauty of upstate NY. We flew the tandem to Albany back in 2008 to ride the Eastern Tandem Rally, stayed at a motel near the airport and our first ride was to the Erie Canal. I then packed the tandem into the rented SUV and we drove to Glimmerglass (near Cooperstown) for the opera festival before heading to New Hampshire. Great holiday, loved the quiet & scenic roads!
