Five Lakes Century

Seems this one is either going up or down, but what a ride! The roads are lightly traveled and the scenery is great! It stands to reason there are hills since the 5 lakes you circumnavigate have ridges between them that must be crossed. The first chance for food is Honeoye, followed by Bristol Center, Cheshire and Naples. Unless you detour into Springwater (might be a good idea) there are no other stops after Naples, so plan accordingly. There is a 52 and an 81 mile cut, but it only shortens the ride, the hills are still there. Of note, the only chance for food on the 52 mile route is in Springwater, and without the detour into Springwater on the 81 mile route, the only chance for food is in Honeoye. Oh, by the way, it is really 106 miles!
