There is a multi-day ride called Cycle to Syracuse (https://cycletosyracuse.com) that commemorates the 30th Anniversary of the Lockerbie bombing that killed, among others, 35 SU students. The ride started in Lockerbie, completed the UK portion, then flew to DC to start again today at Arlington National Cemetery, and ride to Syracuse.  The final leg of their ride is November 1st, from Utica to the SU campus https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/21242513#. I ran across it on Facebook due to a post about the Bikery (as in Miles Ross) being in DC to be their support for the next week!

I have been in touch with the riders to see if local riders could join them whenever it was convenient, and they were quite welcoming.  I said I would try to pull a group together for the last leg.

The logistics of starting in Utica are a bit tricky—we would have to get back to Utica to retrieve vehicles--but it seems like a doable, and worthy, endeavor to me.  So far the forecast is for temps in the 50’s, 20% chance of light rain, and partly cloudy.
