It is a local fact that the best road cycling in the Adirondack High Peaks region starts and finishes in Wilmington, home of Whiteface - the 1980 Olympic Mountain. Anchored by the mountain and the stunning Ausable River, this picturesque community is about as good as it gets for a fall cycling weekend, not to mention the miles and miles of low traffic backroads just waiting for you to ride and "leaf peep" on.
We'll start and finish each day in the heart of the community, but will totally customize the routes based on the distances and terrain you'd like to ride. Trust us, this landscape has it all. Feel like climbing the Veteran's Memorial Highway to the summit of Whiteface? We've got that. Or rather cruise the rolling backroads along the Ausable through the tiny hamlets of Ausable Forks and Jay? We've got that too.
The routes included here are a few of the favorites we've used for the annual Ride for the River event benefiting Ausable River Association, but our professional guides will get in touch with you in advance of your trip to personally plan each day to suit your ability, interests and desired experience.
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
We're all about customization to suit your desired experience. Our professional guides will link up with your trip planner in advance to 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.
