A moderately hilly, scenic run.
Start from Mt Pleasant Laundrymat parking lot at the intersection of Rt 366 and Mt Pleasant Rd. Go left onto Mt Pleasant Rd for a fairly steep climb of a couple hundred feet. Take a right at the intersection of Turkey Hill Rd. Go to the bottom of Turkey Hill and take a left at Ellis Hollow Creek Rd. Floow this for about four miles of gently rolling rural landscape and enjoy the scenery. Take a right at the intersection with Ellis Hollow Rd, climb out of the valley and run alonf Ellis Hollow Rd for about 4.5 miles until you see Game Farm Rd on left. Take that, and go back down hill...if you are going to Cornell Campus you can take the East Hill Rec way trail at the bottom on Game Farm Rd...it is about 2 miles to the center of Cornell campus from there, otherwise continue on Game Farm Rd until you reach Rt 366, take a right and another .75 miles or so will take you back to Mt Pleasant Laundrymat parking lot.
Watch for cars, especially on Ellis Hollow Rd. and Rt 366, the other rds aren't too busy.
From Points East of Ithaca, take Rt 13 to Rt 366, take a Right on Rt 366 at the lights right after the NYSEG building. Laundrymat parking lot is about 2 miles from the lights, on the left.
From Cornell campus...Take Rt 366 about 1.5 miles from the vet school, laundrymat is on the right.
