If you have ever been to the Adirondacks or Whiteface Mountain, you know one of the best ways to see the region is by bicycle. The gorgeous upstate scenery makes for fabulous summertime cycling.
Road and mountain bike paths and trails for all levels wind through forest, across streams, and up mountain ways. Two of our favorite rides are the River Road Loop and the Notch that winds down and around Whiteface mountain. I love both of these rides and highly recommend checking them out.
What I love about the River Road Loop is the long winding flat surface. No pot holes! It’s perfectly smooth and it runs along the beautiful Ausable River the entire way. It’s also very hilly and gives such a great, challenging workout.
It’s about five or six miles and is seriously one of the best rides in the region. The Wilmington Notch ride also runs along the river, but the road has wide shoulders that give the rider a lot of space.
A really exciting way to take in the scenery on your bike is the Cycle Adirondacks Ultimate Cycling Vacation August 17 – 23rd. The Cycle Adirondacks flagship event is a well-planned adventure. It features a six-day supported tour, meals, medical and mechanical support, hiking and canoeing excursions, massage therapy and yoga, and a beer and wine garden. There’s still time to register! And if you’re coming along for the ride, be sure to book your nightly stay at GO-Cottage!
