Ride Details:  The route will travel from the Syracuse region (Sun Chon's Tae Kwon Do Center in Fayetteville, NY -- www.sunchongstkd.com) to Brewery Ommegang (www.ommegang.com) near Cooperstown, NY.  This non-competitive fun ride is a POINT-to-POINT event; it is NOT a race.  The start and finish are in two distinct locations approximately 90 miles apart.  There will be a “sag wagon” but all riders should be self supportive and able to deal with routine mechanical issues (i.e., flats).  Riders should also be capable of riding 90 miles at a pace of at least 15 mph.  There will be no formal rest or water stops; this is a self supportive event. 

Post Ride:  There will be post-ride complimentary beverage available at Brewery Ommegang as well as special pricing for food and merchandise.  Brewery Ommegang has tentatively planned an outdoor, family movie night (fee required) the evening of the ride.   Camping for riders is available at the brewery the evening of the ride.  A change of clothes bag will be transported for you to the brewery.   Riders can also leave a vehicle over Fri eve in the event parking area to drive themselves back post ride if desired.

Route:   The ride will start at Master Sun Chong's Tae Kwon Do Center located at 8020 East Genesee Street in Fayetteville, NY near Four Seasons Golf and Ski Center.  The route will travel east on State Route 5 and then south on State Rte 13 to connect with State Rte 80.  The majority of the ride will follow Route 80 east through scenic rolling hills onward to Brewery Ommegang which is located just south of the village of Cooperstown.  We will not enter Cooperstown by cutting through the village of Fly Creek onto the brewery.  A map, with directions, will be provided to all riders.   Brewery Ommegang is located at 656 County Highway 33, Cooperstown, NY. 

Return Transportation:   We encourage riders to car pool to the extent possible with family, friends, etc.  We will be offering post-ride transportation back to the start Sat eve.  We will provide additional details once we have an idea of numbers.  Bikes may be required to be transported back in a  separate vehicle (i.e., Syracuse Bicycle van) from the rider(s).
