Ride for the River
Ride for the River is a celebration of the stunning Ausable River watershed and features some of the most incredible road cycling in the Adirondacks. Created by the Ausable Freshwater Center in 2012, the event was designed to support for the resilience of local communities following the devastating flooding caused by Tropical Storm Irene. Today, 100% of the ride proceeds directly fund the important work of the nonprofit organization as it works to protect the clean waters, natural hydrology, diverse ecology, and scenic beauty of the Ausable River Valley.
Pat Stratton Ride
Named after local plumber and cycling enthusiast, the Stratton Ride is a well-supported road cycling tour featuring some of the most stunning scenery and terrain in the northern Adirondacks. Best of all, 100% of the proceeds benefit the youth programs of the Saranac Lake Kiwanis Club, which distributes free bicycle helmets to kids during their annual bike rodeo. To date, 1000's of helmets have been given away.
Weekender at Paul Smith's College
There is no better setting for a family friendly cycling experience than Paul Smith's College. Its 14,000 acre lakeside campus is perfect hub for you to explore the beautiful Saranac Lake region by bicycle. But this event is so much more. It's a waterfront campfire with a guitar and friends. It's a few paddle strokes on a pristine pond while listening to the enchanting call of a loon. It's drinking in crisp forest smells while strolling a boardwalk along a nearby bog.
Black Fly Challenge
The Black Fly Challenge is a classic Adirondack Mountain gravel grinder that takes place every year on the second Saturday in June. The race changes direction every year with the start and finish alternating between Indian Lake and Inlet, NY. Over half the 40 mile course traverses the rugged Moose River Recreation Area on mountain roads composed of dirt, gravel, sand and exposed boulders with several steep elevation changes.
