The FLCC Sunday tour is the club's primary weekly event. We meet at 10:00 am in the early part of the season. As the weather warms, we'll meet at 9:00.The meeting point varies week to week; see the specific ride. If you aren't familiar with the area where the route will take you, please be sure to carry a copy of the cue sheet and/or a map as well as the usual touring necessities -- pump, patch kit, plenty of water, and a helmet. The entire year's schedule is now posted in the FLCC calendar. (Almost) all the rides now have maps and cue-sheets posted on the Web. If you would like to have a map/cue-sheet for the ride, please print them out and bring them along. I try to provide extras, but doing it yourself would be best. A few rides will have direction arrows painted on the pavement. The overall plan is that rides start out short and work up as a sort of training regime to the climax of the Big Lake Rides -- rides around Cayuga and Seneca Lakes. Throughout the season, though, we try to keep shorter alternatives to the lengthening rides, so if you don't want to get into the long-distance game, you don't have to. On the other hand, for those who enjoy it, I've added another 100-miler from the repertoire of the Big Horn Velo --- their Five-Lakes century is now our ride around the formerly neglected Keuka Lake. For information about any of the rides, directions, or other questions, email or call me at 607-592-0780. I'm always keen to hear new routes. Surprisingly, it takes quite a bit of work to get a new route set -- work with maps and mapping software, driving around to check details, preparing cue sheets. So, if you can send a turn-by-turn ride suggestion, that would really be great. Detailed traces on a map are ok, too. Andrejs |
