This site only includes RUSA events hosted by the Finger Lakes Randonneurs that will use the eBrevet app as an alternative method for proof of passage. You can read about the eBrevet app at it's documentation site on github.
Starting at the Hangar Theater, site of an airport started in 1912, the ride proceeds south to Harris Hill above Elmira. Harris Hill is the Soaring Capital of America, famous as a site for glider flights. Proceeding westward the route heads toward Hammondsport where you will pass the Glenn Curtis Museum. Curtis, an early aviation pioneer also made bikes and motorcycles. Continuing in a northerly direction along the eastern shore of Keuka Lake you will eventually get to the Montezuma Wildlife Refuge, home to a diverse population of birds including herons, bald eagles and osprey among others. The route then passes through Auburn, NY with a brief visit to Harriet Tubman National Park named for the famed abolitionist who helped many slaves in their flight to freedom on the Underground Railroad.
Unlike other bicycling events,
randonneuring routes are not marked with painted or posted
arrows or other signage beyond pre-existing road and traffic signs.
Instead, the route is defined by a map accompanied by distances, turns, and detailed cue
notes. This information comprises the official directions for the route. We have
done our best to embed these notes and directions with an accurate GPS map. This map, combined with a
GPS navigation unit or compatible Smart Phone device, may prove useful as a navigation assist.
It's important that the cue notes are displayed in plain view of the rider so they may be referred to
frequenly. Items such as Control locations, Hazard Warnings and other useful information are displayed on the
cue notes only! Cue notes rendered on cue sheets may be abbreviated with common shorthand given in a
glossary at the top of the cue sheet (eg TFL=Traffic Light, etc...) Please respect that spotting cues, notes,
and warnings were placed there based on the experience of past riders. Ignore their notes at your
peril. Keep alert for other route changes and hazards that are not documented.
