Adventure Club - Finger Lakes Reunion Tour
A few years ago two HS pals of yesteryear, (ironically, both named Galen and born in the same hospital 24hrs apart), decided to start an annual get-together that added some activity to their standard bar hopping reunion. Leading up to this next adventure, these two non-bikers tested their legs on the C&O Towpath in Sept of 2023 (Read about it HERE) and kinda liked it!
After some research the Finger Lakes in upstate NY seemed like an ideal venue for the 2024 installation of Galen & Galen's excellent adventure. (one of the Galen's went to Ithaca College and rowed for the Crew Team on Lake Cayuga)
The trip encircled the 4 largest Finger Lakes (Seneca, Cayuga, Keuka, Canadaigua) with a smaller fifth lake (Honeoye) to round out the fifth finger. Breweries, wineries and forever memories abound in this natural playground for these two Gs.
