The Highlander Cycling Tour consists of a choice of five rides on a Saturday in mid September. The rides are located in the scenic and hilly Finger Lakes region of upstate New York around the time of wine festivals and beginning of fall foliage. In addition there is an optional 5 mile mountain time trial on Friday.

Riders will see views of Naples and Italy Valleys, Canandaigua and Honeoye Lakes, and the surrounding wine country. SAG stops are frequent and well stocked. Road rides are well marked on paved roads with light vehicle traffic. There are five rides plus time trial.
