Gore Mountain Region | Bike Adirondacks

North Creek is the perfect starting point for great cycling in the southern Adirondacks, whether you’re looking for pavement or gravel-based adventures. High quality lodging and dining options, plus hiking, river rafting, and other tourist attractions add up to a wealth of choices for a fun weekend.

But, let's be honest, it's all about the cycling. For your roadie adventure, we will work with you to learn your desires for a ride weekend that matches your goals, whether you’re looking for challenging climbs for active training, or casual cruises with plenty of breaks to admire the stunning scenery of this region of the Adirondacks.

The routes offered here are some of our favorites, but this weekend is all about customization. Looking for a 70-mile historic adventure? Then choose the Teddy Roosevelt Tahawus Odyssey. Or go with the casual scenic option through the forest toward Trout Brook. Or mix it up or go in between. There are literally dozens of route options and all of them are really, really good. Wherever we ride, we'll pick a central place in downtown North Creek to start and finish or pedal directly from your lodging.

Here's how it works:

Gather up your crew and pick a few dates. We specialize in guided 2- or 3-Day experiences, but can build exactly what you need whether it's a single day or a full week.
Give us a call at 518.524.4674 or drop an email to fun@bikeadk.com with your dates, an idea of where you'd like to ride and we then work with you to build the perfect itinerary.
Need a bike? No problem. We work with our fabulous local bike shops and will have a bike ready for you to ride when you arrive.

Pricing
Tours range from $49 - $149/day per person depending on the total group size and desired services. We ensure we have at least one professional guide for every group of six guests.

Event Schedule

This tour is all about customization to suit your desired experience. Our professional guides will link up with your trip planner in advance of the weekend and map out a daily plan based on the distances you'd like to ride and other "off-bike" activities you're interested in fitting in either before or after the ride.

We'll even help get you lined up with local lodging and dining options to suit your comfort and palate.

Routes

Enjoy the forests and streams of these beautiful, lightly trafficked back roads. Visit the secret vista with one of the best Adirondack mountain views you will find, and cross the Betsy Ross Bridge. You may even meet Betsy! (We've met Betsy. She's a nice lady--lives next to the bridge. :-) The great view is on a spur road that's a very short detour, and several other spots with great views you wouldn't ordinarily see from the road).

Literally pedal the road to Sodom (New York, that is) as our guide takes you on beautiful and quiet roads through the backcountry of the historic towns of Johnsburg and Thurman. (We pass right by the "Sodom School" and "Back to Sodom Road." There's also a historic marker about local merchant and historic church in Johnsburg).

This epic route retraces the route taken by Teddy himself the night he learned he had become President, and visits landmarks of the Industrial Revolution that will give you a new appreciation of what our ancestors achieved in the wilderness. (This ride has the train station exhibit in North Creek, marked spots on the highway where TR stopped, and a stop on Tahawus Road at the fantastic remains of an 1850 iron smelting operation. We also go by the now-closed titanium mine that helped win world War II).
