It’s spring in the #FingerLakes and the spotted salamanders are showing up. (These two got escorted across the road and out of my wet basement
(where an active sump pump was too close for comfort), respectively.

It's hard to believe that just yesterday some schools got cancelled for snow! 😳 Please don't forget that as the temps warm up there is a two month burn ban. You can still use that backyard fire pit while we're enjoying these cold sunny temps.

Bikepacking: Hector Falls - Hector, NY The ascent from Watkins Glen to Hector is fairly steep and on a winding narrow road. My oringial plans I wanted to visit the falls, but planned to turn east before the falls, to quieter roads, and enter the Green Mountain Finger Lakes National Forest, avoiding the busy road as we rode towards Ithaca. Unfortunately, we had to adjust plans due to a nagglng knee pain for my riding partner. The plan was as little elevation as possible to allow her to spin in a lower gear and not stress the knee. This sort of knee pain (tendon probably) is fairly common for new riders taking on a big load. Also didn't help the bike fit wasn't perfect (but get better throughout the week). The upside, we got to see Hector Falls before turning east and ascending one hill with 95% of the rest of the day dowhill or flat. Future (and past) trip reports can be found at Mountain Visions ------ Panasonic GF2, 14-42 @f/22 with polarizer to get some flow on the water in mid day light

I Love New York - bike touring / bikepacking edition | Flickr I think it's pretty popular to hate on NY, especially upstate NY, but for me, with 5M acres of public forest (37% of NY is public recreational land), whitewater, rock and ice climbing, snow, gravel, and some of most protected (a good and bad thing) land in not only the United States but the world (it's level one protection by the UN rating scale) I couldn't be happier. I get it. New York isn't as trendy for the outdoors as Colorado or some other states. I'm good with that. We've held two winter olympics here. The outdoors are a strong part of this state. Perhaps not a trendy part. Perhaps not what it's known for, but a strong anchor nonetheless. The US Commerce Department puts NY in the top 10 in virtually every outdoor category and the state generates $30B a year from outdoor recreation. I'm sure a lot of that is on the states 52 ski hills! But the Forest Preserve I mentioned brings $1B into the state on it's own. Outdoor recreation is a strong part of NY even if it's not the first thing folks think of. New York is beautiful, it's diverse, it has four seasons and the foliage is legit. NY produces the 3rd most maple syrup in the world (Quebec, VT, NY) so you know those reds from the maple trees are extraordinary. And while you can quibble about how good or bad the weather is, we have 8 months of temperate weather with 3 months of winter and about 6 weeks of hot and humid nastiness. I can live with that. Some places are sunnier, some are warmer, some have more snow (although NY also gets the most snow in the US on the Tug Hill plateau, so maybe not snowier, and it also has 3 of the snowiest cities in the world). You can surf on Lake Ontario, Erie and the Atlantic Ocean. New York has an insane amount of water. It has oceans and is on several of the largest lakes in the US and world (Ontario, Erie, Lake Champlain, and the Finger Lakes....Seneca Lake is so deep the Navy has a sonar test site there). I always comment the Adirondack Mountains are more a wilderness of waterways than a wilderness of mountains. That makes for some incredible boating. In fact the flatwater paddling in NY is the best anywhere east of the Boundary Waters. And the whitewater is can be spectacular as well. The Beaver, the Moose, the Grass, the Hudson and Black. NY has the 5th largest state Park system in the US while being only the 25th biggest state. And most of that 5M acres of public forest I mentioned before, that's not part of the state park system. Most public forest in NY are entirely free to recreate on and devoid of permits. And yet, most of the time, I don't see another human unless I put myself in a position to see other humans. That's pretty awesome for a state best known for it's largest city. So yeah, I Love New York!

Most of all, it's silky & surprisingly fresh with a juicy finish.

It's on the thinner side, but it's beautifully balanced, a perfect food wine.

12.8% alcohol. $40-ish

This single-vineyard Cab Franc from the Finger Lakes starts with minor green notes. The veggies are more aggressive on the nose, not offputting. Then, it evolves into a controlled, olive flavor profile.

The light and bright demeanor (with a touch of tannin) […]
