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.
