About
No Drop | Casual Pace | Smiles Over Miles
These mountain bike rides are perfect for folks who are newer to the sport, getting back into it after an injury, or just plain slow. No judgement -- if we're not there right now, we've certainly been there. See new trails, meet new people, and get outside in the great Adirondacks this season by joining us for a fun ride and a hang out session at the trailhead afterwards.
WHERE: Craig Wood/Scott's Cobble, 25 Country Club Ln, Lake Placid, NY 12946
WHEN: Meet at 5:30pm, start the ride by 6:00pm, return to the trailhead around 7:30pm (+/- 30 min), hang out at the trailhead until you feel like leaving (we'll probably head home by 9:00pm).
WHO: Leaders include Bob, Patrick, and Rachel.
The Ride
This will definitely be the most demanding of the SYRRs this season. While the route we take will focus on beginner-friendly trails, Craig Wood tends to still ask more of riders than any of the other networks we're visiting this season. That said, this will still be a no-drop, mellow pace on a fun-forward route. Craig Wood is a really popular riding destination and for good reason—it's interesting, has plenty of options, and features some really fun trails. We estimate the ride will be about 1-1.5 hours.
The Hang
After the ride, we'll have a grill and chill sesh at the trailhead parking lot. We'll have some goodies to share, but please feel free to bring your own dish and/or elixir to enjoy alone or share with the group. There is no covering nor seating at the trailhead, so please feel free to bring your own cooler, lawn chair, tailgate, etc. to sit on.
Technology & Amenities
E-bikes are allowed at Craig Wood. There might be a portajohn at the trailhead; we will be able to confirm at a later date. There is no running water at Craig Wood unless you visit the Craig Wood Golf & Country Club House at the end of Country Club Ln (0.6 miles away from trailhead).
