Hell Bent for Breakfast

You have to be an early bird for this one. Starting at the parking lot on Clinton Ave at the canal bike path, this route rides the entire 19 miles on the bike path (no one is out there this early except maybe a few die hard joggers with dogs) where it exits in time to catch breakfast in Fairport. You could easily be home before it gets really hot in the summer, but bundle up for it when it is scheduled for early spring or late fall. Even though this is billed as a recumbent ride, no one will mind if you want to join in on a regular bike. Fat tires work well, but since the path is mostly paved and what isn't is hard packed cinder, narrow tires are not a problem. For those wanting to shorten the route a bit, or just get off the canal path for awhile, there is a "road" option between Schoen Place and the restaurant.
