 Adirondack Bike Tour

August 14, 2011

This year’s ididaride!  was amazing by all accounts.

For the days leading up to the tour, weather reports were predicting 40%, 60%, then 80% chance of thunderstorms and showers. Since ididaride! is a rain or shine event,  this became a concern for many. The day of the event, riders arrived under a cloud cover with a temperature of 65 degrees – PERFECT. The cloud cover continued until midday when the sun broke through and temperatures rose. It turned out to be a beautiful day with no rain.

Of the 392 registrants, 326 “did the ride,” with 287 riders completing the 75-mile loop and 39 riders going for the 20-mile option.

Ride Stats

• 98 female/228 male
• 75 mile: 72 female/215 male
• 20 mile:  26 female/ 26 male
• Age range: 9-79
• Average Age: 50

Riders came from as far as the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec.  In addition, they represented CT, DE, FL, MA, MD, NJ, PA, VA, VT, WA, WI, CA, and WV.

Kudos to the best group of Volunteers!

Thank you to our veteran volunteers and some new faces who came out to assist in the preparation and breakdown of the event. Forty ADK members provided most of the volunteer support, 17 of whom were members of the Cold River Chapter. Additional volunteers provided additional SAG support, bike technician support, and set-up and close-down assistance. Special thanks to Ryan G., Rick S., John G., Marilyn S., and Rachel K. for your help. Everyone was so terrific - thank you!

Everyone enjoyed the Après Party featuring (caterer) Nikktina’s of Queensbury and music by Jen Gadway of North Creek.

North Creek’s Main Street stores and eateries offered discounts on food and beverages for our participants.  The Copperfield Inn’s two restaurants -- Trapper’s Tavern and Lorenzo’s, Café Sarah, barVino, Pete’s Ahh, Gear Source and Adirondack Spirits. Thanks to the Copperfield Inn for providing ice to chill the beer!

Thank you to all who participated in the event this year.  Each year this event continues to grow and we hope to make next year’s event even more successful.

WE WILL BRING THE JERSEY BACK NEXT YEAR!!!! BE SURE TO SIGN UP EARLY!!!
