BICYCLING ◀ CROSS MOUNTAIN CRUSHER IS A HEFTY GRAVEL RIDE IN THE CATSKILLS. AUGUST 2023 19 ▼ HANDLEBARLEY GRAVEL TOUR WITH BIKES AND BEER AT PARADOX BREWERY. DAVE KRAUS Bike Upstate with Fall Events By Darryl Caron Now in its third year, the Handlebarley Gravel Tour is on Sunday, Sept. 17 in North Hudson. It’s a mixed surface ride that has it all, the best of which is that 95% of the route is on rural eastern Adirondack backroads – and it starts and finishes at Paradox Brewery. As an update, the full weekend and Saturday only packages are sold out, but slots are still available for the main event on Sunday. Sunday’s ride is the original Handlebarley route featuring 42 miles of some rolling paved and gravel terrain showcasing historic farms, 1800s stacked stone walls, remnants of old mills, and sweet-smelling cedar groves. The highlight of this route is a rest stop in Ironville at the Penfield Homestead Museum (who benefits from ride registrations), which features artifacts from the Penfield family, other historic homes, as well as exhibits covering the local iron history, town history, and involvement in the civil war. To cap it off, riders will celebrate a fabulous ride with a pizza feast, delicious craft beer, and live music at the brewery. Register: bikeadk.com. The second annual Tour de Vine takes place on Saturday, Oct. 7 in Cambridge. It’s a casual, supported tour of the upper Hudson and Battenkill valleys with tasting stops at local wineries, cideries, distilleries and breweries. There’s even concierge service to transport wine and merchandise purchases back to the finish! The Anthem Sports Tours cycling event is welcoming to all riders with fully-supported aid stations, sag wagons, and moto mechanical support. Anthem recently led the popular Great North and Tour of the Catskills bike tours. The distance is 30-40 miles. The ride field limit has been reached (there may be a waitlist) but wine tastings at each stop are still available. Register: anthemsportstours.com. Bike the Barns is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 7 at Ausable Brewing in Keeseville. There’s only one way to experience the rich agricultural story of the Adirondacks and Champlain Valley and that is farm-by-bike! The initial 150 slots are sold out however a wait list has been activated, but there’s good news – it is anticipated that more slots will be opened. The ride covers 23 miles with about 1,000 feet of elevation. You guessed it, this fall bike tour features farm stops complete with tours of each, but what makes this event special is its ability to see, smell, and absorb so much while experiencing the landscape by bike. Following the ride, participants will kick back with a fabulous farm-to-table meal, delicious craft beverages, and live music. Registration supports Adirondack North Country Associations important work to bolster local food, community and health systems. Visit: bikeadk.com.
