With our mileage end for the state being somewhere in the vicinity of 3760, we're headed out of NY. The ride through Western NY was flat and rainy through both farmland, rustbelt decay, and a big city. In addition, we had to catch a quick ride from a motorboat to get across the Irondequoit Bay, where a bridge was closed during the summer due to it is a marina. Dropping south to Route 20 dropped us on some of the steepest climbs we've encountered (the Cherry Valley Turnpike area).

Central NY was beautiful, if hilly. and only by turning Northward on Route 80 did we get out of the hills. Continuing East towards Saratoga Springs put us on some gentle rollers, and we're expecting steep but not impossible climbing for our last 30 miles. We're only three days of riding out from Portland, assuming weather, geography and equipment cooperate.
