Five Cool Things to Do in the Summer

By Deborah Jeanne Sergeant

Rochester Pedal Tours www.rochesterpedaltours.com

Grab up to 17 friends and propel a people-powered cycle “boat” on the Genesee River. Or book a pedal bike to tour the city with up to 12 to 14 friends (depending on the bike). The megacycles’ retractable awning offers protection so tours go on rain or shine. The company provides a driver to lead each tour and steer the vehicle. Tour participants are welcomed to bring their own food and beverages. Each tour lasts 100 minutes. Tour guides can arrange architecture and history tours, progressive dinners, brewery tours, milestone parties such as retirement and customized bar crawls. Reservations are required.

Bristol Mountain Ziplines and High Ropes https://bristolmountainadventures.com

This Canandaigua business offers guided Zipline Canopy Tours with seven ziplines measuring more than 5,000 feet and shorter ziplines as well, all with views of the Bristol Valley. The Aerial Adventure Park includes seven courses with a dozen unique challenges in each, like tight rope walks, rope ladders, swings and short ziplines, all while participants wear safety harnesses and helmets. For the very adventuresome, try The Launch, which shoots visitors 63 feet in the air above the forest canopy, experiencing 3.8 G-forces. If you’re bringing along the grandchildren, the Kids Adventure

Park is a good fit for children aged 4t hrough 7.

Located in Mumford , this is the largest living history museum in New York. Walking the 600-acre grounds feels like stepping out of a time machine into 19th century life with 68 replica or reconstructed historic buildings peopled by costumed interpreters engaged in period life: pottery making, barrelmaking, blacksmithing, weaving and more. The museum is fun for children as well. The GCV provides games and toys for youngsters and plenty of open spaces for play. Picnicking space is available, but food is also available onsite so you can make a day of it. Stop by the gift shop before you go to find old-time games and educational toys.

MASKS ARE STILL REQUIRED Due to COVID-19, strict safety policies are in effect and apply to EVERYONE. We cover our styling chair in disposable vinyl. I also wear protective coverings. There is no way an operator could be three feet apart from a client while working, which is why the client and I are covered. You will receive foot coverings, vinyl gloves and a sheer vinyl cape which you will wear out to your car and discard at your convenience. Temperature will be taken at the door. No wigs are touched by bare hands. ONLY THE CLIENT IS PERMITTED INSIDE!

To hear more of Frank’s story and learn if CyberKnife is right for you, visit hoacny.com

Frank chose non-surgical CyberKnife® at HOA –offering 5 treatments instead of 35!

“The original diagnosis was to treat my prostate cancer with seven weeks of radiation, five days a week. I was kind of upset that I was never given the option of CyberKnife,” said Frank. “The precise radiation achieved by CyberKnife, far fewer treatments, and the personalized care I received from Dr. Chin and his team made my decision an easy one. Better, the treatment was a real success!”
