Probably the nicest part of the state. Riding downhill is great here. Like a land luge. Fast, with plenty of twists and turns. A rocket fast drop into Watkins Glen and Seneca Lake followed by a serious climb back out.
Crosswinds knock the bike around.
Great views from the tops of the hills. Another luge ride into Ithaca and Cayuga Lake. Overall drop of 300 meters. The recumbent has excellent brakes. Rode around Ithaca.
