Finger Lakes Tour

Finger Lakes Tour

Mark your calendar for August 15-17 and plan on joining us in the beautiful Finger Lakes region for 3 fabulous days of motorcycling. You will see 5 of the 12 Finger Lakes, tour local wineries, visit an antique motorcycle museum, dine along the southern shore of Lake Ontario (I know, I know, it's not one of the Finger Lakes), travel along parts of historic US route 20, gaze at the splendour of local waterfalls and gorges, and best of all just hang out with fellow Coasters having a good time.

 

Our intention is to have 3 full days of riding (not non-stop of course) and attractions organized so if you want to arrive Thursday night you can join in for a Friday morning ride, if you arrive later on Friday you can join us in route, or for the dinner ride. If you arrive Saturday you can join in at one of our stops too. There will also be a Sunday ride that you can do all day and go home on Monday, or ride with us until noon and then head home after lunch. We are still working on all the details, so please stay tuned.
