The ride begins in Skaneateles, NY. Leaving the waterfront park take an immediate left on West Lake Rd. The lake views on this ride are expansive and scenic, but it's best to ride during a cool morning or evening since the road is pretty exposed. There are good shoulders and the traffic is relatively light.
