This is the ultimate event to attend with a big group of friends. Whether you stay in the dorms, tent (or RV) on campus, or stay in local lodging, the Weekender is all about relaxation and exploration, on and off your bike.
Join Evergreen Bicycle Works and the Erie Canal Museum for a ride through Fort Edward along the Empire State Trail and Champlain Canalway Trail. Highlights of the ride will include the historic Old Fort Edward Junction Locks, the Fort Edward Canal Street Marketplace, the Old Champlain Canal, and the Feeder Canal Five Combination Locks. The ride begins and ends at Evergreen Bicycle Works – just down the street from Slickfin Brewing Company, where you’ll be treated to a post-ride beer. The ride will be about 6.5-7 miles and will start and end at Evergreen Bicycle Works.

The Wilmington MTB Festival is 3-day celebration of bikes and community with on-site camping, live music, local food & beer, group rides for all abilities, shuttles, a kids MTB race, and 25+ miles of beautiful Adirondack-style single track riding. The event is a major fundraiser for the Barkeater Trails Alliance (BETA) and proceeds support the trails!
You guessed it, this fall bicycling tour features farm stops, but what makes this event special is its ability to tell the rich agricultural story of the Lake Champlain Valley while experiencing the landscape by bike. You can see, smell and absorb so much more when moving by your own pedal power.
Hosted by Adirondack Cycling Advocates, the Harry Elkes Ride celebrates the scenic beauty of the North Country lakes and countryside, the friendliness of the groups, and the food and beverages after at The Hub in Brant Lake. Harry D. Elkes was America’s first Super Cycling champ in both short distance and long distance events at the end of the 19th century at the beginning of the 20th century.
Cooler temperatures, stunning fall foliage, the absence of annoying bugs, and about 25 miles of top-grade, machine-built and hand-built trails will combine to make the Adirondack Mountain Bike Festival a spectacular autumn event and one that should be at the top of people’s list of seasonal activities to check out.
NOTE: Registration will remain open for the whole month and miles can be added retroactively.
