Triumph Trans-AmeriCa - Doug and Cindy
Andy Paris | 7/29/2009

On July 27, Cindy and I left home at 12:30 PM for a leisurely ride in Percy (our TR6) on Rt. 5&20 east. Stopping at the Skaneateles Chamber of Commerce enabled us to finalize our September 27 brunch run plans. As my cousin Karen whom I have not seen in 5 years lives in nearby Marcellus, we popped over for a delightful visit in her lovely home. Returning to Rt. 20, we again headed east, stopping in Cazenovia for a sumptuous meal. It was the first time I have driven Percy on the “Seven Hills of Rome” near Pompey. Piece of cake! Heading again on Rt. 20 east, it was a wonderful and leisurely drive and the traffic was very, very light. I’m telling you that this particular section of Rt. 20 between Cazenovia and Richfield Springs is absolutely a must drive if one wants to just really cruise with no plane or train to catch. In W. Winfield, we saw John and Uncle Jack in front of the Barstow House, a B&B inn. We pulled in for a few minutes before heading toward Richfield Springs for an overnight stay. After picking up John the next morning, it was a very nice and pleasant early morning run to Cazenovia where we picked up Bev & George and Kathy & Bill in Auburn. Traffic was a little heavier in the section between Auburn and Avon. In spite of this, we arrived at the Avon Tom Wahl’s only 12 minutes late to a welcoming group of GRTTC and MGCC members. We found John to be a very amusing Brit with a very good sense of humor. In all, we enjoyed the trip of 350 miles immensely and Percy ran flawlessly.
