Finger Lakes weekend with an option to extend to a week
Join us for this NYCC weekend in Ithaca, NY, along with the Mid Hudson Bike Club.
This year we are expanding to include a week long option.
Thursday, September 25 - 28 - Ithaca Weekend
Sunday, September 28 - 30 - Auburn add-on (50 mile drive from Ithaca)
Members are welcome to enjoy the Ithaca weekend, or the Auburn portion or both.
Enjoy beautiful riding in the heart of the finger lakes while connecting with fellow cycclists from the Mid Hudson Bike Club,. Ithaca is known for being "gorges".
We'll be staying in Downtown Ithaca, and, similar to the Berkshires Weekend, people will stay in accommodations of their own choosing, and rides will be listed. A number of us have booked rooms at the Hotel Ithaca. As the number of attendees grows, we can add additional rides, at various levels, to fit the group.
For those continuing on to Auburn, we plan to stay at the Holiday Inn Auburn.
We plan to have group dinners at Downtown Ithaca restaurants.
Ithaca is, of course, home to Cornell University and Ithaca College. It is located on lovely Lake Cayuga in the Finger Lakes, and boasts farmers' markets, wineries as well as Ithaca Commons, a two-block pedestrian mall filled with upscale restaurants and shops, public art, and frequent community festivals.
Here is a tentative itinerary. For more information, contact Ron Wechsler at wechsler.ron@gmail.com
