Regarding the trail west of Syracuse, the route on this site is an older route. The newer route is shown on the PTNY site.
Apparently they did some work on the trail just west of the city that makes the new trail the official preferred route.
When you ride, all of the signage directs you to the new route. Apparently the new route can be a bit confusing at the fairgrounds, so look for a security guard to help.
We rode the old route, and it was fine too.
