Two Days = Two Times the Handlebarley Fun

Handlebarley Gravel Weekend Doubles Down

After the 2022 Handlebarley Gravel Tour, numerous riders suggested expanding the event into two days. They were right.  

Instead of having to choose riding 20, 43 or 63-miles on one day, the 2023 event featured a 20-mile ride to stunning Elk Lake Lodge on Saturday, followed by an incredible ride into remote, and previously unaccessible, Boreas Ponds on Sunday. Combine both with some of the best weather of the summer, Paradox Brewery, and wow, did we have fun. 

Needless to say, expect a double dose of Handlebarley again in 2024. Until then, check out the video and photos.

Riders enjoy a cruise into Elk Lake Lodge on Day 1 of the Handlebarley Gravel Weekend. Spectacular Elk Lake Lodge made for a fabulous rest stop and turn-a-round point. Nothing like a photo on the dock at Elk Lake Lodge The views of the Adirondack High Peaks from Elk Lake Lodge did not disappoint. The gravel en route to Elk Lake Lodge did not disappoint either. Riders roll from Paradox Brewery toward Boreas Ponds. Riders gather at Paradox Brewery on the second morning of the Handlebarley Gravel Weekend. Riders find some sweet dirt and equally great views on the Handlebarley Gravel Weekend. One of the many water crossings en route to remote Boreas Ponds An aerial view of Blue Ridge Falls. Mandatory bike lean. A shot of getting the shot at Boreas Ponds. And the reward - beer and pizza at Paradox Brewery. E-bikes absolutely welcome. When the weather is this good... Cheers to another great Handlebarley.
