25 miles; moderate to easy cycling
Rolling hills with gradual inclines

The tour starts in front of the Sherwood Inn in Skaneateles.

The cycling route makes a figure-eight pattern; a morning loop through farmland to the east, a lunch break in Skaneateles, then a short loop through the country of the horsy set, passing the polo grounds where matches are played on Sunday afternoons in summer. You'll ride beside the two easternmost Finger Lakes, Otisco and Skaneateles, and get panoramic views from the high ridge between them. Fishing is possible in either lake, while swimming is most convenient in Skaneateles.
