Our trip across New York has been across rolling hills called drumlins. Drumlins were formed by glaciers and are a little like ocean surf with a steep side on the northern slope followed by a gradual slope on the south. Stopping for lunch in Fulton we met a fellow traveler named Joe Martin who is traveling from Bar Harbor to Seattle, his blog, if you are interested is
vizzionquest.tumbblr.com. He lives in Seattle, shipped his bike to Bar Harbor, and is now riding home. He said he had to wait a couple of days for his bike to show up, but otherwise getting to Bar Harbor was fairly easy and his bike arrived unscratched. Our logistics problem is the reverse and we still have not settled on how we are getting back home; plane, train, or automobile. Bicycling back, or taking a boat through the Panama Canal, as Christian suggested, have both been ruled out.
