The Adirondack Park is larger than the state of Vermont, and that’s a lot of territory to cover. But Adirondack Life magazine, our Bike ADK Partner of the Month for August, has been all over every aspect of the North Country since 1969.
Hosted at the iconic Hotel Saranac, this now annual weekend getaway paired some of the most stunning road cycling in the Adirondacks with delicious local dining in postcard perfect downtown Saranac Lake, a community filled with quirky shops, art galleries and stunning architecture.
The Aug. 6-8 Weekender at Paul Smith's College event will benefit the Climate Fellowship Program. But this year, guests will also be invited to bring their old bikes and bike gear to donate to help the college Outfit a New Explorer. This is a very cool new initiative.
Mark your calendars, friends! We've got a packed summer and fall of incredible Adirondack cycling events. Road, mountain, gravel and even a few family focused events like the all-new Pisgah Pedalfest. It's in here and more...
Not only is Hammer Nutrition our featured partner this month, but we're also stoked to announce that we'll have Hammer products fueling you at every BikeADK signature event this summer.
Ride for the River is more than just a bike ride with friends and family; it’s an opportunity to learn about the Ausable River Association (AsRA) and the difference we’re making for our streams and lakes. And it’s a gathering celebrating the resilience of our communities inaugurated in 2012, the year after Tropical Storm Irene ripped through our communities. So why ride for the river? Here are a few ways your registration dollars make a difference.
If you want spectacular mountain views, rushing rivers, and shaded country roads, then this month’s ride spot has what you’re looking for. The countryside around Wilmington, NY, offers all of this for road cyclists and will be offering it up with special bonuses during the Ride for the River weekend on July 17-18.
Our ride spot this month takes us to the Essex Chain of Lakes south of Newcomb. It’s hard to believe today that for a century this area was a bustling logging operation and off limits to the public.
Our Bike Adirondacks Partner of the Month for June are the fine folks at the Paradox Brewery, who have a brand spanking new 25,000 square foot brewery just off Exit 29 of I-87 in North Hudson.
It’s been a long time coming, but the Adirondack Rail Trail between Lake Placid and Tupper Lake is finally becoming a reality. Construction of the 34-mile trail began in September of last year and has started with the removal of rails and ties along the trail route.
Because of your support, ADK Unite 2021 hit our goal of raising $8,000 for our community food pantries. That's over $4,000 more than last year. And on top of that, we collectively moved 16,487.31 miles during the month of May. Woot! Woot! Now that's how you Move to Fight Hunger!
