My Summer Goal: Bike Around the Finger Lakes


I really love the finger lakes out here, and wanted to get a better view of each one, which is why I have made the following goal.

I Donald Gregg Blanchard, will bike around each and every finger lake before the summer is through.

Here is a run-down of the 7 lakes that are considered "the" finger lakes although there are many other narrow lakes in the area.

  • Otisco Lake (18 miles)
  • Skaneateles Lake (45 miles)
  • Owasco Lake (30 miles)
  • Cayuga Lake (85 miles)
  • Seneca Lake (85 miles)
  • Keuka Lake (45 miles)
  • Canandaigua Lake (45 miles)
I am not quite sure the order I will do them in yet besides the first, Otisco and perhaps Owasco, which I will knock off on Saturday.

Hooray for me, hooray for goals.

I bet those will be fun rides. Are you going to tag along with Ry for the ride to Seneca lake on the 29th? I'm sure he could use the moral support! Goals are good. I'm dreaming up a few post-partum goals myself, but it will be a while (like after I have Katie and see what my body is actually up to) before I fully commit and publicize. But I can't wait!

Yeah, if I am around that weekend I think I will join them for the end of that ride. With Katie cheering you on, I am sure you'll be able to do some pretty intense stuff when you're ready.

What a fun goal! I am so proud of you. You will have to "drive" us around your favorite sposts when we come to visit.
