FLCC> sunday ride, clinic, and other quandries

[Steven Powell]

FLCCers,

Have a great ride this Sunday around Cayuga Lake.  Be sure to take 
some of the smaller diversions off of the state Routes as you go 
around the lake.  The maps on the club website show some of these 
diversions.  In particular, the climb east out of Aurora on Ledyard 
will take you up to Indian Fields / Salmon Creek which gives some 
spectacular views as you turn south.  This is not to be missed.  Just 
take a look at the club maps -- the cue sheet doesn't detail the 
diversions but the maps do.

I look forward to re-joining the "moderates"  or "not so fasts" or 
"Adventure Cyclists" or "Sunday Bike Tourists" or whatever we call 
ourselves in a couple of weeks after doing some out-of-town bike 
adventures of my own.

Have fun riding.
