    Update: I biked this again in late August. The logging road on the long downhill has been graded, evidently in preparation for timber operations. Much easier biking.

    I have been riding this area for greater than 10 years without a lot of other people. Sad to see it get so much press.

    Hi Phil – thank you so much for this very detailed article! I’m heading to Lake Placid and my friends are planning to do this loop. I’m a pretty beginner cyclist – in fact, I’ve never ridden a mountain bike before. Do you think I would be able to handle it? If not, any beginner-friendly loops you’d recommend? Thank you!
