Each loop is approximately 32 miles. The course
will be marked, and is easy to follow.
There are convenience stores
located in SCHUYLERVILLE, Gansevoort and at Bluebird Road. There
are 24 hour supermarkets in SARATOGA SPRINGS, GREENWICH and SOUTH GLENS FALLS.
Checkpoints will be in SCHUYLERVILLE and on Bluebird Road at mile 15 in SOUTH GLENS FALLS.
The course is deceptively difficult and consists of rolling hills,
false flats and wind. Each lap has about 750' of climbing with one significant hill: BACON HILL. It's ¾-mile long with a steep 10-12% section, and riders will enjoy it both up and down! The uphill starts just before the 2 mile point of each lap, while the downhill is located at about the 29 mile mark. To get to the downhill though, riders will have to climb up from the Hudson River for about 3 miles starting at mile 25.
The WEATHER will most likely be hot and humid with a chance of afternoon thunderstorms. High temperatures average in the mid to upper 80's, but it can get up to the high 90’s. Low temperatures average in the mid 50's,
but it can stay in the 70’s or drop down into the 40’s. Also be prepared for high humidity. And, if the wind is out of the south, it will make the second half of the course very difficult. For the current forecast, CLICK HERE.
Sunrise is 5:30 AM, sunset
8:30 PM.
