After a few years of neglect I am back on my road bike(s) and a group of
eight friends are planning a five day trip to the Ithaca NY region in mid
July (18-23, I think).

I have not been a part of the last few trips of this particular group; but
in general we will be doing 60 miles/day and staying at mom and pop motels
and frequenting inns and cafes looking for local flair.  We prefer fairly
cheap rooms and like to spend our money where are mouths are.... good food
and good local beers.

Is there anybody in the area that can shed some light on our planning?
I am aware of the BTR (Bon Temp Roleau sp) ride that will be held in the
area the week after we are there.... any other input from someone in the
know would be appreciated.

It's been my experience that local input is ALWAYS better than tour
guide/AAA info.
Thanks in advance.

RVC: We will be sagged by a 93 Eurovan and probably my 89 Westy.
