FLCC> FLCC Touring Group Report: Finger Lakes Weekend #1

[Scott E. Smith]

Thanks Andrejs, Steve, and FLCC for all your help and trip planning.  I
think I can probably speak for all of us when I say we had a great time. 
I am looking forward to more trips in the future.  Thanks also to Hobit
and Mark.

Seven year old Oliver "Let's put the hammer down" Monkman gets my vote for
biker of the weekend as I was amazed by his ability to hang on through all
the riding without getting bored (or noticeably tired).  In fact, he
initiated a mad sprint to the Sampson State Park entrance (at the end of
55 miles of riding) between the tandem he was riding with his dad, Paul,
and his mom, Holly.  I'm not sure of the outcome, as the race to the
finish was interrupted by Paul and me taking a wrong turn (I believe this
was part of Holly's plan as she was already up the road).  After we did a
U-turn, Paul and Oliver managed to catch her, but I didn't have it in me
to stay with them as we chased...all this on loaded bikes, must have been
a site to see.
