I am in Geneva for 3 months and trying to train for a "supercentury" ride back in California in July. I would love advice on routes to ride; I have ridden along the bike path/route around the lake and then climbed up a few country roads; also have the detailed bike map for Geneva area but was hoping for more detailed routes. Bikely.com maps are all GPS so it is a little hard to figure out exactly which roads the route takes, where to make turns, etc. I am not super fast (eg a recreational rider, not a racer) so I don't think any clubs would work for me. Any advice? Thanks!

I sometimes go for fairly long rides around Geneva. Of course the classic is the around-the-lake tour, but there are lots of shorter routes for starting out.

Do you have the free "Velo Love" map?

No, what is the VeloLove map and where can I find it? Does it include rides outside of Geneva itself?

I guess its real name is Genève Roule:

All the bike shops have it, as well as the luggage claim booth at the train station. It's free!

Ah, here's the PDF:

As you can see it also covers the canton. There's a more detailed map of the city on the other side.

In fact I'm thinking about taking a longer ride sometime in the coming days if you're looking for somebody to ride with.
