Presents:

The 2004 Finger Lakes Tandem Tour (west)

Day 7 Saturday

Ride from Hammondsport to Elmira along the Chemung River
47 miles easy.

Our last transfer day and finally a relatively flat one!

We ride to Elmira on a route ~45 miles long. We head down the valley below Keuka Lake, then skirt around Bath, passing one more lake, Lake Salubria.

Passing under Route 86 (formerly Rt 17), we turn east following the Cohocton River from Bath to west of Corning. This is a great, quiet country road. Note it has many railroad crossings - be cautious! We ride at times very close to the river, along a shaded lane.

Our route passes through little towns, then on to Painted Post and through Corning, NY. Pause in Corning and see the Corning Museum of Glass, Rockwell Museum of Western Art, or shop downtown. We know you might want to hurry back to get ready to travel, but Corning is well worth a stop.

The ride then follows the Chemung River on Route 352 to Elmira and our house.
