Drumlins before the Mohawk

Today, we rode 68 miles from Canandaigua to Liverpool in suburban Syracuse, NY.  It was another sunny, cool day with tailwinds on good roads.  The cycling life can be good!  Tomorrow, we will pedal out of the Great Lakes basin into the Mohawk River valley which flows east into the Hudson which in turn flows south into the Atlantic Ocean.  But today on our west-to-east route, we rode up, over and down numerous hills formed 10,000 years ago by the melting glaciers which left deposits of stones, forming north-south ridges.  These deposits are generally called moraines, and they often take the form of overturned canoes, now covered with grass and trees, called drumlins.  Tomorrow, we ride to Little Falls.
