Finger Lakes, starting in Ithaca
I've read the travelogues from Speedo and NeilFein about touring around the Finger Lakes. Great info!
My wife and I are planning 3+ days of riding around the lakes starting in Ithaca. We're avid cyclists, but this will be our first "tour". The plan is to pack very light (we're likely to skip the camping this time around). It looks like we won't have to do much route planning ahead of time, with the exception of making reservations for lodging. I would guess with the light loads we'll be able to put at least 60 miles a day and still have time for some sightseeing. I've ordered some local travel books, but if anyone has any suggestions for "must-see/stay/eat/drink" locations that would be great.
We're planning on staying in Ithaca the night before the ride begins, and leaving our car there. Can anyone suggest a safe place to leave a car? We're not committed to starting in Ithaca, but it seemed like a great landing spot after a drive from the DC area.
