Perfect!
Join me for the Ten Parks Tour, Leaf-Peeper Edition on Sunday October 17, 10am at Cobbs Hill Park.
The Ten Parks Tour is a signature Rochester Bicycling Club ride, and represents Rochester and Monroe County in the New York Bicycling Coalition's Best Rides of New York State.
This ride starts and ends at Cobbs Hill Park in the city and connects nine more east side city, county and town parks. From the hills of Mendon Ponds Park in the south, to the beach at Durand-Eastman, the route winds through city neighborhoods, suburban streets and rural roads, with an optional lunch stop at Vic and Irv's in Sea Breeze, and a final pass up the Genesee River gorge (past all three falls!) and through downtown Rochester.
The route can be split into southern and northern portions for a shorter ride.
Meet at Cobbs Hill Park by the pond and tennis courts (corner of Culver Rd and Norris Dr by 490) at 9:45. We roll at 10am sharp.
I'm your ride leader, and generally I lead this ride from the rear. I let the fast kids go off the front, and settle in for a nice conversational ride. I've led this ride for three years now, and I've never left a rider behind.
PS: I have at least one other 'bent rider planning to join us.
