This ride begins in DeWitt. From DeWitt you'll climb about 3 miles to Jamesville and another 8 miles to Pompey. Route 20 provides great views of the surrounding area, including the east end of Oneida Lake and windmills. You can easily exceed 50 mph on Route 20 descending to Oran Delhi Rd. The climb to Cazenovia is over a mile long and pretty demanding. Route 92 from Cazenovia to Manilus is a nice steady downhill back to DeWitt. There are great road shoulders throughout the ride.
