Publisher's Synopsis
An updated and expanded edition of the definitive guidebook to a bicycler's paradise. "Paradise" indeed is how many bikers think of upstate New York's Finger Lakes region, including the authors of this handy guide. Even aside from the lakes themselves--closely grouped, deep, cool "fingers" among the hills--the area features waterfalls and gorges, wineries and museums, cities and farms, all connected by an extensive network of well-maintained paved roads. And all this can be visited in a day of leisurely cycling--with time out for a swim. Mark Roth and Sally Walters's collection of tours has long been a trusted companion of Finger Lakes bike-trippers. Now the members of the TNMC--a club devoted to biking and outdoor recreation in the area--have revisited and revised each scenic tour. And they've added a special new section detailing the best bike routes around each of the 10 Finger Lakes--a popular local challenge. Like all of Countryman's bike books, 30 Bicycle Tours in the Finger Lakes Region includes clear mile-by-mile directions, detailed maps, and notes on the history and culture of the countryside you'll be cycling through.
