UPDATED MAY 6th: Camping site is booked! We have sites 35, 33B, and 39. That will accommodate the 12 people signed up here as well as my two friends.
Scroll down to the second map: http://www.northpoleresorts.com/grounds.asp
The cost for accommodation per person will be $10US.
NOTES:
- the two small sites (33B & 39) are for 1 tent, 4 people and 1 car. The bigger group site (35) is for 2 tents, 2 cars, and 6 people. So we are going to need BIG tents: leave your 8 lbs single person backpacking tent at home!
- fire wood can be bough for $6.25 per bail
- mtb’s can be rented in the town of Lake Placid which is about a 20 minute drive away
UPDATED APRIL 24th: I will be booking the campsite exactly one week from now. So i’m going to need final confirmations as of FRIDAY MAY 1st.
With NICK, ME, OLIVER and my two friends, we should have enough people driving. Details regarding gear and racks etc. to follow.
So
- if you have expressed interest but haven’t clicked the register button please do so
- if you clicked the register button and now know you can’t come, then please unregister
- If you are coming with friend/lover/therapist/Personal Guru, please unregister from the regular slot and register for the ME + 1 slot. (if you are coming with more then 1 person message me.)
The weekend of May 16th and 17th I will be organizing a Camping/training weekend of epic proportions in the beautiful Adirondacks. Here is a rough breakdown of the weekend. Despite the testosterone infused title of this post, this weekend will be as epic or casual as you want. No matter how much or little you do, the riding is beautiful. 
Satuday the 16th:
- Leave early from the gates, and drive approx 2 hours to Lake Placid. get there by 10:00ish, setup camp and have lunch.
- Two loops (180km total/6h) of the beautiful Ironman Lake Placid bike course which features stunning scenery, excellent roads, over 2500 feet of climbing, and a harrowing non-technical 10km descent where speeds will reach 80kmph for the brave/stupid. Single 90 or 70km loops are also easily arranged so there’s something for everyone.
- Post ride smack talk and optional 30 minute run for bonus points.
- Camp fire + BBQ + merry making!
Sunday the 17th
- Delicious and hearty breakfast and then an easy ride out to the town of Willmington.
-
ATTACK ON Mt. WHITEFACE! Aprox. a 13km climb with average grades of 8%, Whiteface is (by the numbers) a tougher climb than the Tour De France’s (in)famous Alp D’Huez. The views from the climb are stunning and we will launch our attack at a time when the road will be closed to traffic.
3)Easy ride to camp for lunch - Smack talk during the return drive to montreal in time for dinner.
Other Info
There is likely a great deal of Mountain biking in the area so our furry friends are welcome!
There are rides of all distances available as the loop includes a significant out-and-back section that can simply be left out.
I will make this as cheap as humanly possible because i am broke.
There is swimming, shopping, hiking, and general hanging out in the charming town of Lake Placid for those that just want to come along.
Guitars and Beer at the campfire!
