Six of us here at Canaan Rd for the entry level “BikeSki” ski outing today. Dan, Christi, Laura and I skied while Will and his father, Bill snowshoed. We practiced climbing by going up sauna hill, then across porcupine ridge (see http://canaaninstitute.org/bikeskiblog/?p=31), to snowmobile, then lady Slipper (R1) and home on Red Man Run. We worked on kick and glide and poling and downhill braking and control :-)

“Guide to Hiking Trails of the Finger Lakes Region” This is the little yellow book with all the cool topo maps! (2009 is now the most recent edition). The Cayuga Trails Club recently published the 11th edition of ‘Guide to Hiking Trails of the Finger Lakes Region’. Last published in 2006, this new 2009 edition of this popular trail guide features detailed trail descriptions, color photographs, and GPS coordinates for trail heads and road crossings. The pocket-size yellow colored guide describes almost 140 miles of the main Finger Lakes Trail (FLT) and 70 miles of branch and loop trails of the FLT System between Hammondsport and Cortland. Included with the 194-page guidebook are 11 maps of the Finger Lakes Trail System and one map of the Cayuga Trail. This Guide to Hiking Trails also briefly describes other places of interest for hikers in nearby state parks, Arnot Forest, Cornell Plantations, Finger Lakes National Forest, nature preserves of the Finger Lakes Land Trust, Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and elsewhere.  Includes 12 GPS based maps of the Finger Lakes Trail System and the Cayuga Trail. All maps printed in color on all weather paper. NOTE: The 2006 edition was green. The edition before that was blue.
