Title: Lake Placid Ride - Comments, Suggestions?
Post by: donzo on August 24, 2010, 11:50:47 AM
Hello New England Riders, I came across this ride in the NewEnglandRiders.org website.  Upstate New York is close enough to Toronto to ride out and enjoy some of your roads.  I'm looking at a ride that's out of Olde Forge New York doing a Lake Placid Loop and an Adirondack Loop

Here's the website:

And here's the southern Adirondack Routemap

Has anyone have any experience riding in this area.  Any comments or suggestions?  I'm planning on a full weekend trip the weekend of September 17th. 

p.s. joiners are welcome.

I'll revoke your passport if you do not get thee over to Moriah / Witherbee area (Blue Ridge not far from there)
and find county Rt 4 & 6 (edited) - County Rt  2 & 7 also good - 4 & 6 rule.

Very Very nice roads there - enjoy.

Lake Placid if fairly congested in summer & fall.

I second that road recommendation ... But there's a reason that most people on NESR and other forums censor the name of it when they post it...  ;)

Cheers,
Adam
