A very challenging ride to Lake Placid, home of the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics.
Our journey will start in Schuylerville, NY, on the banks of the Hudson River. We'll then travel north to Lake George and Warrensburg, where we'll begin our main loop through the Adirondacks. Before the day (and night) is finished, we'll pass through North Creek, Indian Lake, Blue Mountain Lake, Long Lake, Tupper Lake, Saranac Lake, Lake Placid, Keene Valley, North Hudson and Schroon Lake. We'll then return on the same route we began with, through Warrensburg and Lake George.
The terrain will feature several climbs in the 3 - 5 mile range, most notably going into Warrensburg and Indian Lake, and out of Blue Mountain Lake and Keene Valley, and lots of shorter rollers. This route will be typical Adirondack terrain: rugged in spots, along with gently rolling roads along lakes, rivers and streams. We'll hit our high elevation of about 2200 feet in a couple of spots: the top of Blue Mountain, and just outside of Lake Placid.
Please note that this ride is unsupported. Services will be available at most check points, but riders should plan on being self sufficient. Plan for this event very carefully. On some sections of the route we'll have long stretches where there will be no services. For a list of items to bring, view our rider checklist. Lights are also required for this ride.
