Biking Courses

Quiet country roads, endless miles of State Forest jeep trails, scenic destinations—all combine to make the Finger Lakes Region a bikers' haven. And the hills?—well, they build character. (Not to worry, we'll share some tips to make them more forgiving and easier to ascend–which may have you smiling at the top.) We cater to novice cyclists and design the courses to accommodate a range of physical abilities and ambitions. Along the way, we'll cover: dressing for the outdoors, equipment selection and care, bicycle maintenance, riding techniques, safety and emergency procedures, minimum-impact concerns, map and compass use, touring skills, and route planning.
