Book Description

Series: Backroad Bicycling | Publication Date: June 2004

The classic guidebook to a cyclist's paradise.

New York State's Finger Lakes region is indeed a paradise for recreational cyclists. In addition to the lakes themselve—sclosely grouped, deep, cool "fingers" among the hills—cyclists will find waterfalls and gorges, wineries and museums, cities and farms all connected by an extensive network of well-maintained roads. Mark Roth and Sally Walters' collection of tours has long been a trusted companion of cyclists in the Finger Lakes region. Now the members of the Thursday Night Men's Club (TNMC)—a club devoted to biking and outdoor recreation in the Finger Lakes—have revisited and revised each scenic tour. Backroad Bicycling in the Finger Lakes Region includes clear mile-by-mile directions, detailed maps (with cues), and notes on the history and culture of this unique region. 30 black-and-white photos, 25 maps

This review is from: Backroad Bicycling in the Finger Lakes Region: 30 Tours for Road and Mountain Bikes, Fourth Edition (Paperback)

I purchased this handy book hoping for a few pre-mapped routes. What I found is an well presented, informational yet fun synopsis of various rides. Each ride is well layed out giving information about the hills and routes, but more importantly it provides just enough interesting facts about the area to keep you entertained and educated about the region. We have done a few of the rides alreay in what is clearly one of the most beautiful regions of the US. With the great Fall weather we have had and this handy guide to show us the routes all you have to do is pump up and get cycling.
