Canada's Lake Country

Saturday, June 28th through Sunday, July 6th

Ride through rural countryside on quiet rolling roads. On the mainland we'll be in apple and cheese country. Nice combination - great food and riding along back country roads.

The rolling hills of Northumberland County encompass eight attractive and friendly communities, along with dozens of picturesque villages and hamlets in between. From Presqu’ile Provincial Park in Brighton, to the Ranney Gorge Suspension Bridge in Campbellford, each town has its own unique ambiance and offers something special to explore and discover.

Cross over into Prince Edward County and again get to ride your tandem on quiet country roads with rolling terrain. Now we have wineries and coastlines to explore. There are artist colonies, lovely small shops, and even a "Taste Trail" to follow for culinary delights.

Lake Champlain

Saturday, July 19th through Saturday, July 26th

Tandem through rich farm country, green pastures, and peaceful landscapes of apple orchards, cornfields, and grazing cows. Ride along the shores of sparkling Lake Champlain (the sixth largest natural lake in the U.S.) and take your bike on a ferry ride to historic Essex, New York.

Take the Water’s Edge route, a winding loop ride along the AuSable River as it meanders down to Lake Champlain. And ride the Acres of Apples tour through the apple orchards of northern New York. Hike through the famous AuSable Chasm.

Our tour of Lake Champlain Islands takes full advantage of the lovely islands that are scattered haphazardly along its long and narrow length, and the unsurpassed views across the lake to the Green and Adirondack mountains. Connected by bridges and causeways to the rest of Vermont, these islands are blessed with a unique combination of exceptional rural scenery, big prosperous farms, cows and sheep grazing in green fields, the best apple and fruit orchards in New England, and historic structures built by Vermont's earliest settlers.
You get to enjoy all this while cycling along quiet lakeshore roads that wander along the water's edge!

Lakes of Chautauqua

Saturday, August 2nd through Sunday, August 10th

Traverse the majestic shoreline of mighty Lake Erie and thread through America’s second largest grape growing region. Circling Chautauqua Lake is a favorite route for many local and visiting cyclists. Panama Rocks loop takes the rider past some heavily forested areas as well as the area’s largest recreation attraction, Peek’n Peak Resort.

This tour starts and ends on the shore of Lake Erie. You get to tandem along the coastline, taking in the beauty of the lake and the wineries that are nearby. The roads are quiet, so imbibing at the winery can't be too bad.

Heading inland we climb up the gentle escarpment to the hills of western NY. Chautauqua Institute and Lake Chautauqua are the highlights of the middle of the tour. Not to mention, a visit to the Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Center

Next we're off to the Peek 'n Peak Golf and Ski resort for some relaxation and riding. While here, you can cycle to the Panama Rocks Park, 12 Acres of an Erupted Paleozoic Seashore.

On the way back down to the lakeshore don't miss the Luensman Overlook Park, with it's 70-acre overlook on a glacial ridge. Enjoy the view of Lake Erie, and on a clear day you can see the Canadian shore!
