This weekend in Canandaigua, NY

A friendly coffee-themed group ride departs from Schoen Place near Collins Pavilion, follows the canal path west to Lock 32 to meet additional riders, then continues toward the UR campus and into downtown along the west bank of the Genesee River. A mid-ride stop at Java’s provides a caffeine break before the route heads back on the river’s east side through the UR campus, reconnects with the canal path, and returns to the starting point. The exact route and downtown coffee destination may change slightly from week to week.
