Adirondack Rail Trail

We will park in Lake Placid at 1pm (to give you time for travels to Lake Placid) and head out with gear on the ADK Rail Trail to Rollins Pond Campground (10 miles).You may make your own reservation or join one of us that reserved ahead of time (NYS campgrounds fill quickly). Once we arrive at Rollins Pond, we can set up and relax or rent a kayak from the campground area. On Sunday, we will head out and take the trail as far as we can. The trail is currently open until Lake Clear and may be open as far as Tupper Lake at that time. Upon finishing the trail, we will reverse back to Rollins Pond. Maximum mileage on Sunday would be 50 miles; this will depend on how far along they are with construction. Upon returning to Rollins Pond, we can relax or kayak. On Monday, we will pack up and head back to Lake Placid where we could load our cars and head out. 

If you have not been to the ADK rail trail and enjoyed the area, this is a must.  It is a flat crushed stone surface. The views are postcard worthy. The pace will be leisurely so you can take it all in. Details about parking and food options will be identified once the trip gets closer.

Flat Tire Clinic  Getting a flat tire is an inevitable part of cycling. Fixing a flat is simple with basic tools, a little knowledge and plenty of practice. The more you do it, the more routine it will be. The instructors will provide a demonstration, and then you'll be able to practice changing your own tire, with help from others.  Bring: your front wheel & tire a set of tire levers (buy at bike shop) This clinic does not cover tubeless tires. In order to provide personalized attention, group size is limited.

Erie Canal

We will park and head out from Brockport cycling 40 miles to the Niagara County Camping Resort (near Lockport).No campground reservations are needed for cyclists arriving without a car, plus they discount the nightly rate to half. ($12 per person, double occupancy). If you prefer to drive to the campground, you will need a reservation. There is a basic camp store onsite and a Tops Market is only three miles away. Other perks include fresh drinking water, showers, flush toilets, lots of trees and a pond with a small beach. It is a very quiet area with plenty of open space. 

Day two (optional ride) is a 50 mile out-and-back excursion to the end of the current canal in North Tonawanda. The route is flat, and we will have no camping gear on our bikes. Day three we return to Brockport. 40 more miles on the historic Empire State Trail. 

For the three days, 90% of the miles are on finely crushed gravel with 10% on paved surfaces. The surfaces are mostly smooth, but moisture can affect surfaces. Tire width is important, (35-50 mm is recommended).
