THE
RIDE
|
The
ride is all on road, wide shoulders for much of the route. Youll
ride through some of the most beautiful scenery cutting right
through the central Adirondack Mountains, most of which is public
Forest Preserve land. Well cycle through the towns and hamlets
of Bakers Mills, Wells, Speculator, Sabael, Indian Lake, North River,
and back to North Creek. Your ride will take you alongside Mason
Lake, Lewey Lake and Indian Lake. A long descent begins in the hamlet
of Indian Lake and meets the Hudson
River in the hamlet of North River with a relatively easy ride into
North Creek. The entire distance along Route 30 and Route 28 to
North Creek is designed for the bike enthusiast, with designated
bike routes marked on the wide road shoulders. |
