Scenic views of lakes, ponds and waterways. Multiple food stops available. By Len Sanders (2014).

Should be a beautiful day for a ride to Califon. We'll take a break by Bank St. Strong C+ riders are welcome. 

A variation on tour #566, Hacklebarney Long, with a return on Rte #512 (Fairmont Road East), instead of Black River Road. "Fedora ride" - flat to start and finish with a climb in the middle (gentle to Mountainville on Rockaway, harder out of Mountainville on Guinea Hollow) then a "dimple" downhill into Califon and a climb out of Califon (gentle on Frog Hollow).

• Rockaway Rd & Guinea Hollow (600' in 6 miles at mile 12) Frog Hollow Rd (440' in 3 miles @ mile 21, right after food stop)

Califon (mile 21):
Bex (Thu-Sun) Rambo's - no restrooms, but porta-potty down Bank St at park Short detour (L on Main St in Califon for .3mi - over the bridge) to Califon General Store

options for 20, 24, 28 mi with stop at Green Village Deli

A minimum hills ride in the Great Swamp area with two loops off of White Bridge Road. *No food stop since Meyersville Cafe closed*.

A nice ride for a Monday morning.

There will be a STOP at the Green Village Deli for a bite to eat.

Come out and join me for this 'classic' ride.

This will be my 4th Bon Ton and I had a great time cycling the Finger Lakes.  If you have any questions, please contact me.  First sign up and register on the Bon Ton website and then sign up on the MAFW ride schedule so I know who is going.

Bon Ton Roulet | Auburn YMCA The Bon Ton Roulet is a five day bicycle tour through the beautiful Finger Lakes Region of New York State. Our fully supported tour takes cyclists from wide open farm fields, past stunning overlooks of our lakes, to cavernous water-carved gorges, National Historic Sites as well as award winning wineries. The Long Route appeals to those riders who love the challenge of a 60-75 mile ride per day. The Regular Route, typically 40-50 miles per day, tends to attract newer riders & those who plan on spending the day leisurely browsing the markets &  attractions along the way. Many riders even switch back & forth between routes during the week, making the Bon Ton the perfect tour!  Check out the website below for more info and to register.  After registering with Bon Ton please sign up on the MAFW ride schedule so we know who is going.

Familiar roads in Pluckemin and Tewksbury up to Mountainville with a few less traveled and challenging climbs. Note tour 298 is similar but climbs Guinea Hollow out of Mountainville instead of Philhower. Tour by Greg Stec (2016).

Rain, smoke/haze from the wild fires cancels (I will cancel before 7:00AM that day if needed).  Steady "B" pace reaching B+ at times.  Regroup at the top of the hard climbs (but, we're not waiting till noon for you).  Tubeless riders are on your own if you get a flat.  Faster cats are welcome to zip ahead but "no one should ride alone"  However, lets try and stay together, working as a team!  Note: If I don't have at least 2 riders by 7:00AM that day, I will cancel and join another ride.  No heroes or "attitudes".  If you come with a arrogant attitude, it will be quickly "readjusted" to suit our humble group. 😊

There are bathrooms at ball fields at mile 23.5. If closed there are bathrooms and a porta john at Pyramid Mt Mile 25.4.

My respectful requests/expectations:

1. I will sweep as per the Ride Leader manual.
2. I expect at least 1 person to ride with me, especially since there is always a small possibility that my internal defibrillator will go off. 
3. I prefer that all who sign up commit to riding within the club’s average speed for the posted pace and prefer you not sign up if you plan to exceed the maximum average speed for the posted pace. Anyone who chooses to ride faster than the maximum average speed for the posted pace will be considered to be on your own unless you stop to regroup periodically. 
4. Please be able to maintain the minimum average speed for the posted pace, however, no one will be dropped. 
5. No one rides alone. 
6. Keep an eye on your fellow riders: bikes break, accidents happen, medical emergencies happen.
