The Annual Memorial Bike ride was started in 2003 with the proceeds going to the Scholarship Fund at Bolton Central School. The scholarship has grown to a $1,000 amount given each year to a graduating senior. Our first ride started with ten people.
We are proud to say that over the years the ride has grown and not only can we give a deserving senior a $1,000.00 scholarship, we also are able to donate to many other community services. Last year we were able to donate over $4500.00.
There is only one way to experience the rich agricultural story of the Adirondacks, and that is farm-by bike.
You guessed it, this fall bicycling tour features farm stops (complete with tours of each), but what makes this event special is its ability to tell the rich agricultural story of the Lake Champlain Valley while experiencing the landscape by bike. You can see, smell and absorb so much more when moving by your own pedal power.
A big loop that combines some old country roads, dirt roads, and a wide shouldered state highway. The mileage is up there, luckily there are only a few punchy climbs and short sections along the dirt road where there is a bit of sand. This is what fast gravel bikes are made for! There is a small convenience store in St Regis Falls where you resupply. There very are long sections where you will have little to no cell service, and very little development so being well prepared is a must.
This road ride begins (and ends!) at the Essex County Fairgrounds. The ride takes you along beautiful back country roads with only a few short sections along a state highway.
This is a great all-asphalt ride with a very short 1/4 mile hike to the base of the Belfry Fire Tower which affords great views of the Adirondack High Peaks, Lake Champlain, and the Green Mountains in Vermont.
This summer, we've partnered with University of Vermont graduate student and New York State certified guide Hyla Howe to present a series of guided birding by bike tours. The first of which was held June 26 in the Champlain Valley. Best of all, proceeds from this will support graduate research being conducted on grassland birds in the Adirondacks.
Starting in Northeastern Lewis County in the Adirondack State Park, the ride carries you through the heart of Lewis County to the most Southwestern part of Lewis County across the world-famous Tug Hill.
Hosted by Adirondack Cycling Advocates, the Harry Elkes Ride celebrates the scenic beauty of the North Country lakes and countryside, the friendliness of the groups, and the food and beverages after at The Hub in Brant Lake. Harry D. Elkes was America’s first Super Cycling champ in both short distance and long distance events at the end of the 19th century at the beginning of the 20th century.
Hosted at the voco Saranac Lake waterfront lodge, this weekend get-a-way pairs some of the most stunning road cycling in the Adirondacks with delicious local dining in postcard perfect downtown Saranac Lake, a community filled with quirky shops, art galleries and stunning architecture.
