Vistas and Overlooks
20 miles, from Cass Park to the Taughannock Falls overlook. Moderate difficulty.
This is a nice introduction to the pleasures and difficulties of Finger Lakes bicycling. Most of the route is along pretty gently rolling terrain with only a few hills -- but a couple climbs are enough work to rate the whole ride as "moderate difficulty."
We start in Cass Park in Ithaca -- from the city, take NY 89 north and take the first left after the big bridge into the parking area. The distances in the cue sheet begin at the north exit from this parking area.
