ABOUT US |
Hello and welcome to the home page of the Montreal Double Double. This ride is not a race nor is it a brevet. It's something...different. It consists of a double century from Schuylerville to Montreal, a leisurely rest day in Montreal and, on the third day, another double back to Schuylerville. The ride will be fully supported, and we'll be rewarded for our efforts with two nights of rest and relaxation at a first class hotel. This is our second running of this event, and last year we had a blast! If you've never been to Montreal, this is your chance. It's a great city, and with a full rest day, you'll have a chance to explore some of its wonders. For more information on this event, use the links below:
For an entry form, use the link to the left. But hurry! Registration deadline is July 15! Thanks, and if you have any questions, feel free to contact us. |

The terrain will be varied, with three distinct sections.
The 30 miles between Schuylerville and Lake George will be rolling, with a couple of long gradual hills. The next 100 miles to Plattsburgh will be typical Adirondack terrain: short steep hills with a few long climbs thrown in for good measure. Then, the final 70 miles into Montreal will be a stark contrast to the ride so far. It'll be flat. Pancake flat. Kansas flat. Unbelievably flat. No hills except for a couple of highway overpasses and bridges.
Overall, there's about 7000 feet of climbing in each direction, with most of it coming in the middle 100 miles.
