I was an intern at the Chamber this past summer and a senior at Caz College. I am currently working on my capstone
project and the business that we have selected is a brewpub. We currently have a survey out and wanted to know if you
would help us in getting the survey out to the public by placing the link on your social media sites and possibly the news
letter as well. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/brewpub315
These are the cyclists that stopped over in Cazenovia and spent
two nights in our backyard. They all made it. If yu would like to
follow their entire journey and the list of Thank yous to all that
helped them on their journey go to
www.tuneyourbreaks.wordpress.com
Here they are on the Puget Sound at Golden Gardens Park, Seattle,
WA, or, a far as we’re concerned, the Pacific Ocean!
We set out July 5th from Rye Beach, Rye, NY, and reached Seattle
on Sept. 24th, 2014. We were on the road a total of 82 days and
covered about 3900 miles through 11 states (and one Canadian
province). We spent 57 of those days actually on our bicycles for
an average of about 70 miles per day. Our shortest day was 21
miles and our longest was 102 miles. My beard grew 2 inches and
caused the death of 937 insects on the highway. Their blog was
written by Adam and includes many photos of their journey including several of Cazenovia.
