For a shorter ride, we suggest doing an out and back route for the length of your choice.
Directions: Northway Exit 11 west, through light at Stewart’s, past drug store, large park and ride on the left
Terrain: Scenic. Long climb up Outlet Rd., 2 steep climbs and one short steep hill on 9P and as always, some "rollers" thrown in the mix.
Notes:
1) The SAG will be equipped with a first aid kit, water, PowerAid electrolyte powder, nutrition bars and gels. Feel free to bring snacks and beverages that need to be chilled to be put in the cooler (until full). There will be no lunch provided this week. You might want to bring some food of substance for 40 mile stop if you do not want to just have bars and gels.
2) There are 3 Scheduled Rest Stops along the way at miles 25 (park, bathrooms only), 40 (Laura DiRado's House), and 58 (Stewart's).
3) Make sure you bring all bike gear needed...HELMETS, bike pump, saddle bags with tools and such to fix a flat, water bottles filled with electrolyte replacement, and nutritional needs. Layer up, remember, more is better, you will be able to ditch anything you need to along the way in the SAG vehicle.
4) Laura DiRado will be Sweeping the ride this week and her husband Tony will be our SAG. Thanks guys!
