Hi Ultra-Cyclists! You'll be wanting to get in as much power pedaling as you can for rides like the Shenandoah 1200, Endless Mtns 1240 and RAAM qualifiers, so we have 350 or 400 of the most scenic yet grueling miles you'll find anywhere. Embarking from the trendy college town of Ithaca, NY you'll head west, eventually circling all 11 of the Finger Lakes - that's all 11 in just one weekend! On your circumnavigation, you'll roll past plump vineyards around Hammondsport and Naples\Gannett Hill. QuadZilla will challenge the elite with additional miles through Letchworth State Park, the “Grand Canyon of the East“, while the FL350 group will take the shorter route to charming Geneseo. From there the hills will turn to choppy rollers which will deliver you to the lakefront resort town of Canandaigua, then on to Auburn, basking in stately 19th century homes. All the way, you can expect to experience daunting climbs paying off in stunning vistas of the shimmering, crystal-clear Finger Lakes.
The Finger Lakes were formed during the Ice Age by massive glaciers gouging the earth. When the glaciers finally receded, lakes were left behind in the valleys between the peaks surrounding each of the Finger Lakes. Since these ridges run north to south while the route traverses east to west, you’ll be climbing over these peaks and descending into these valleys a multitude of times. This Will be Awesome! You'll Love It!!
The ride will be run Randonneur-style with checkpoints (40 hour time limit). Sleep accommodations will be available in Auburn. You'll be provided with a highly detailed map and cue sheet denoting all food and water stops along the route. A bag sag will carry your gear to Naples and the sleep stop in Auburn. Hot food will be available at these same controls. We recommend a 39x26 low gear ratio or a triple. Over 28,000 ft. of climbing!! A unique event memento will be awarded at the finish. The cost of this event is $150. and includes a shared motel room in Auburn. The entry fee is used exclusively for event expenses.
Train Hard and We’ll See You in August!
