It’s hard not to find a great cycling route through the Finger Lakes. Whether it’s past the birthplace of John Rockefeller in Richford, in Tioga County, or along a wine route in Tompkins County, or through the farmlands of Cortland County – it’s all good.
In fact, the counties offer maps of suggested cycling routes for both road bikes and mountain bikes. Get them here:
• Tioga County
• Cortland County
• Tompkins County
If you like flatter terrain, the area around the Susquehanna River in Tioga County, or central Cortland County are idea, with wide roads and scenic views.
If hills are your thing, try around Tompkins County, where the central New York plain dips into the Finger Lakes. Incredible beauty. Or maybe you’d like a mix, like southern Cortland County, near Greek Peak.
You can’t go wrong, even if you get lost.
