Thanksgiving<br />

Training,<br />

November 22-26<br />

The New York Ski Educational Foundation is<br />

offering an on-snow training camp for high<br />

school-age cross-country ski racers and<br />

biathletes. The training sessions are meant<br />

to allow more experienced junior skiers to<br />

jump-start the winter season with quality<br />

training sessions; working with high-level<br />

coaching staff. The timing of the training<br />

coincides with snow-making operations at<br />

Mt Van Hoevenberg so there will be guaranteed<br />

skiing with likely or predicted low<br />

temperatures in November. More info and<br />

registration: nysef.org/camps.<br />

<strong>Adirondack</strong> Center for Loon<br />

Conservation Hosts<br />

Annual Loon Celebration<br />

Celebrate loons with the <strong>Adirondack</strong> Center for Loon Conservation staff and featured<br />

speaker, Dr. Mark Pokras on Sunday, <strong>October</strong> 8 from 1-4:30pm at Paul Smith’s<br />

VIC and learn more about loon conservation in the <strong>Adirondack</strong>s! They will have live<br />

music by Blessid Dirt, food provided by Chef Humble, and adult beverages from Hex<br />

& Hops. The afternoon of fun includes a scavenger hunt, loon-calling contest, and<br />

the last chance to enter the Hornbeck canoe raffle. Learn more at: adkloon.org.<br />

Saranac River projects impact<br />

access for paddlers this fall<br />

Several projects along the Saranac River section of the Northern Forest Canoe Trail<br />

will impact access for paddlers and other users this fall. The projects include construction<br />

on Casey Road, a dam removal near Indian Rapids, and a fish ladder being<br />

installed at Imperial Mills Dam. “Our community partners have done great work to<br />

inform us of the impact these projects will have on users,” said NFCT Stewardship<br />

Director Noah Pollock. “We want to be sure that paddlers, anglers and other outdoor<br />

recreationists know about this work and adjust their plans accordingly – the goal<br />

is to keep people safe and informed. Ultimately, these projects will enhance these<br />

sections of the Saranac River and we’re excited to see them come to fruition.”<br />

Starting in September, both the traditional Union Falls Dam portage and the<br />

Casey Road portage are inaccessible. At present, a temporary portage route requires<br />

users to walk east on Union Falls Road to Hawkeye, then take Silver Lake Road to<br />

NY Route 3. Paddlers can also access the river near the Silver Lake Road bridge.<br />

Elsewhere, a dam removal project at the Indian Rapids dam has resulted in extremely<br />

hazardous conditions. Paddlers are urged to avoid this section of the river. Finally,<br />

a project to add a fish ladder to the Imperial Mills Dam is underway. Paddlers should<br />

take out river-left, well above the dam and follow a trail to SUNY Plattsburgh’s campus.<br />

A yellow NFCT portage trail sign indicates the correct route. Paddlers or other<br />

users with questions should contact NFCT Stewardship Director Noah Pollock at<br />

noah@northernforestcanoetrail.org. Additional information, including maps of<br />

alternate portage trails, can be found at northernforestcanoetrail.org.<br />

Warren Miller ALL TIME is Coming<br />

Warren Miller’s ALL TIME is bringing 74 years of filmmaking reimagined to a theater<br />

near you this fall. And this season, it’s all about good turns and good snow on<br />

good hills with good people. Narrated by Jonny Moseley, ALL TIME dives deep into<br />

elements that Warren himself first identified as the stuff of which snowy dreams<br />

are made. From the birth of ski towns like Sun Valley and Aspen to icons and innovators<br />

like the original hotdoggers, the film brings the best of seven decades along<br />

with humor and inspiration from today—featuring Maine’s finest athlete, Donny<br />

Pelletier, and the next generation of skiers and riders at Woodward Park City.<br />

Less a documentary than a love letter, ALL TIME is a way to honor how, where,<br />

and with whom we’ve made ski and snowboard movies since Warren first picked<br />

up a camera in 1949. Join us as we celebrate how snow sports have burrowed into<br />

our collective consciousness as an obsession and a way of life. The two-year party<br />

for 75 seasons on snow starts <strong>October</strong> <strong>2023</strong>. See ads in this issue to find a show near<br />

DEC Urges Hikers to Avoid the<br />

<strong>Adirondack</strong> Rail Trail During<br />

Ongoing Construction<br />

NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is urging residents, visitors,<br />

and recreationists to avoid the <strong>Adirondack</strong> Rail Trail, to ensure the protection of<br />

public safety and assist in timely completion of the project. Ongoing construction<br />

to complete Phase 1 of the project spanning from Lake Placid Depot to Saranac<br />

Lake Depot is underway. While some sections of the trail between Lake Placid and<br />

Saranac Lake may appear complete, crews are still working on the trail surface,<br />

parking areas, fencing, intersections, and more. The area is closed for use and should<br />

be avoided until the project is complete.<br />

There are ample alternatives to the <strong>Adirondack</strong> Rail Trail near Lake Placid and<br />

Saranac Lake. Hikers can explore the Bloomingdale Bog Rail Trail, accessible along<br />

multiple points from Saranac Lake through Onchiota, the Paul Smith’s College VIC,<br />

which boasts over 25 miles of maintained trails, and Henry’s Woods and Heaven<br />

Hill Trails, two networks of trails accessed from Bear Cub Road in Lake Placid. To<br />

learn more about the <strong>Adirondack</strong> Rail Trail, including notices and information on<br />

construction phases and closures, and suggestions for alternative trails, visit the<br />

DEC website: dec.ny.gov.

VETERANS DAY DASH. SHEN XC AND T&F<br />

By Kristen Hislop<br />

Fall in the Northeast brings the most<br />

amazing running weather. We<br />

have beautiful foliage with cool,<br />

crisp mornings. Our running community<br />

is lucky to have some awesome events<br />

to choose from that support incredible<br />

organizations. Post Covid, we lost some<br />

events, but as you’ll see with the slate that<br />

we are profiling, some are celebrating 15<br />

and even 47 years! Get registered for a fun<br />

fall and support our sport. Not interested<br />

in running or walking, then jump in to<br />

volunteer. Volunteering offers a way to<br />

stay involved, meet some great people,<br />

cheer on athletes, and support local nonprofits.<br />

Starting on Saturday, November 4,<br />

the 11th annual Revolutionary Run<br />

for Veterans at “America’s Turning<br />

Point” 5K begins at Fort Hardy Park in<br />

Schuylerville and runs north along the<br />

historic towpath across the Champlain<br />

Canal and into Hudson Crossing Park.<br />

This race is unique in that you start on a<br />

field, run on a trail and finish on the roads!<br />

Something for everyone. The run starts at<br />

10am and is followed by refreshments<br />

(hamburgers and hot dogs provided by<br />

the Saratoga County American Legion<br />

Posts) with ceremonies for Veterans and<br />

award winners at Fort Hardy Park. The<br />

race will also commemorate the 250th<br />

anniversary of the Battles at Saratoga,<br />

known as America’s Turning Point. Bring<br />

the kids along for the free fun run.<br />

The Saratoga County 250th American<br />

Revolution Commission, consisting of 13<br />

official members (in honor of the 13 original<br />

colonies), has planned and organized<br />

multiple ceremonies, events, activities<br />

and celebrations recognizing the 250th<br />

anniversary of the American Revolution<br />

in Saratoga County including recognition<br />

at this race. Online registration is $40 until<br />

Nov. 3 and proceeds benefit the Saratoga<br />

County Veterans Trust Fund. Register:<br />

runsignup.com.<br />

The following day on Sunday,<br />

November 5, you’ll be happy to hit the<br />

trails for the Fall Back 5 Trail Race. You<br />

even get an extra hour of sleep before<br />

you head over to the Saratoga Spa State<br />

Park. Once again, you’ve got a combination<br />

of terrain with a few fun hills and<br />

even a staircase! Running this event you’ll<br />

discover new areas of the park, but don’t<br />

delay since registration closes at 200 runners.<br />

Hosted by Saratoga Stryders (members<br />

get a $2 discount) this race features<br />

awards donated by iRun LOCAL and a<br />

post-race door prize drawing open to all<br />

runners and volunteers. You do have to be<br />

present to win!<br />

The race starts at 10am and there is<br />

day-of registration ($35) beginning at<br />

8:30am. It is $30 online until Nov. 2. You<br />

can head to iRun LOCAL on Saturday<br />

to register and if already registered pick<br />

up your bib from 12-2pm. Net proceeds<br />

from the event will be used to support the<br />

programs and activities of the Saratoga<br />

Stryders. For more info: saratogastryders.<br />

November is full of unique runs with<br />

great venues. On Friday, November 10,<br />

the 15th annual Shenendehowa Veterans<br />

Day Dash 5K Run/Walk will be held on<br />

the Shenendehowa Central School campus<br />

in Clifton Park. This 5K starts with a<br />

bang, literally from a revolutionary war<br />

cannon, on the track. Runners then head<br />

out onto the closed course for a flat and fast<br />

5K on the campus. This race is a favorite<br />

as it showcases some of Shenendehowa’s<br />

sports teams. The boys swim team, boys/<br />

girls wrestling, boys/girls Nordic skiing,<br />

and of course the cross-country runners<br />

are on the course in their sports attire. Yes,<br />

that means speedos and singlets! Veterans<br />

can run for free by emailing for a code:<br />

info@freihofersrun.com. The day kicks<br />

off at 9am with kids’ runs on the track<br />

followed by the 5K at 10am. A ceremony<br />

to honor veterans precedes the awards<br />

ceremony.<br />

New this year are high school age<br />

group awards for non-Shenendehowa<br />

schools. Athletes from area schools are<br />

invited to join the 5K and will have their<br />

own awards category – more recognition<br />

of our area youth athletes. Registration<br />

is $30 until Oct. 27, then goes up to $35<br />

through race day. This event benefits the<br />

Shenendehowa boys cross-country and<br />

track & field programs. Over 150 boys participate<br />

each school year! These funds support<br />

three seasons of athletics. Donations<br />

can be made on the registration page for<br />

those unable to join on Friday. Sign-up:<br />

$40, non-members are $45, and veterans<br />

of the military are $35. The Stockadeathon<br />

offers $5,000 in prize money which<br />

brings in great talent from our region and<br />

beyond. The Stockade-athon 15K has a<br />

rich history with nationally and regionally<br />

known runners coming to compete.<br />

It was a favorite of Ed Whitlock’s for<br />

years. Ed was an English-born Canadian<br />

long-distance runner, and world-record<br />

holder for the first person over 70 years old<br />

to run a marathon in less than three hours,<br />

with a time of 2:59:10 in 2003. Ed and Frank<br />

marathon at the 1972 and 1976 Summer<br />

Olympics, were honored guests at the 40th<br />

running of the event in 2015.<br />

Many athletes who grew up in the<br />

area come back as adults to nab some<br />

of the prize money. A glance at the top<br />

20 men/women from 2022 shows that<br />

90% ran cross-country in high school<br />

(another reason to support high school<br />

cross-country at the Veterans Day Dash).<br />

The Schenectady YMCA is a sponsor and<br />

provides a warm place to relax before<br />

Saturday, November 18. This event, at<br />

Jennings Landing in Albany, celebrates a<br />

season of running, learning and growing<br />

as young women. Nanette Hatch, running<br />

coach, says, “At Girls on the Run Capital<br />

volunteer coaches inspire team members<br />

with and without disabilities to strengthen<br />

confidence and other important life skills<br />

through dynamic, interactive lessons and<br />

physical activity.” Coach Nan focuses on<br />

both lessons and fun. She and the girls<br />

get to the start line decked out to party for<br />

3.1 miles. The cheers, smiles, and shenanigans<br />

are worth signing up to volunteer.<br />

There is a community race, but be<br />

ready to set aside your own goals to help<br />

cheer young runners to their finish line.<br />

An Outstanding Fall Hike<br />

By Bill Ingersoll<br />

Maps of the Hurricane Mountain Wilderness tell<br />

an unfortunate story: that these mountains<br />

were once not viewed in terms of their wildness,<br />

but in terms of the resources that people hoped<br />

might be extracted from them. Thus we have inherited<br />

today a region full of features named Potash Mountain,<br />

Soda Range, Coal Dirt Hill, Spruce Mill Brook, Big Slash<br />

Mountain, and Limekiln Mountain. These were not places<br />

for adventure or romantic contemplation of the sublime,<br />

but places where commodities were to be exploited. This<br />

historical ambivalence perhaps explains the current scenario,<br />

in which only a patch of wilderness remains preserved<br />

– almost all of it in the highest reaches of the range.<br />

Maps still label the arch of mountains connecting Big<br />

Crow Mountain with Weston Mountain as the Soda Range,<br />

but for hikers this is better known as Nun-da-ga-o Ridge.<br />

From a distance the range may not look like much – a span<br />

of indistinct flat-topped summits – but it is threaded by<br />

a 3.2-mile path that connects a number of highly scenic<br />

ledges. Therefore, the experience of Nun-da-ga-o Ridge is<br />

among the best days you can have in the mountains.<br />

Because this is not a marked trail – except for a few<br />

key turns – it is not a route for everybody. But for those up<br />

to the navigational challenge, Nun-da-ga-o is an excellent<br />

hike. (This unmarked section is colored red on the<br />

accompanying map.) The path is most often hiked as part<br />

of a loop, beginning and ending at the Crow Clearing trailhead<br />

near Keene. Altogether, the loop is 6.1 miles long<br />

with numerous ups and downs.<br />

▲ LOST POND.<br />

The progression of views is better when hiking in a<br />

clockwise direction, beginning at Big Crow Mountain.<br />

Also, a few steep ledges are far better suited for scrambling<br />

up in this direction than scooting down. That said, hiking<br />

in a counter-clockwise direction is neither difficult nor<br />

unpleasant. Allow at least a full two hours to hike the path,<br />

but with all of the stopping to enjoy the views you will likely<br />

spend a minimum of three hours traversing the Soda<br />

Range – plus the additional time to complete the loop.<br />

This is an outstanding fall hike, with ample views<br />

across the Gulf Brook basin to the High Peaks. An extensive<br />

forest of poplar makes the nearby foliage predominantly<br />

yellow, with streaks of red imparted by maples on<br />

the distant slopes.<br />

Getting There – You can find the trailhead by following<br />

NY Route 9N/73 to downtown Keene, where<br />

Hurricane Road (also designated County Route 13)<br />

heads east, beginning next to the town offices. Follow<br />

Hurricane Road uphill for 2.2 miles, where O’Toole Lane<br />

turns left at Glenmore. This is a winding gravel road<br />

that continues to climb into the mountains to the Crow<br />

Clearing trailhead, a total of 3.3 miles from Keene. Along<br />

the way you have good views of the eponymous Crows<br />

standing high above the road.<br />

Note, however, that the final 0.3-mile of the road is<br />

narrow and unplowed in the winter. The parking area<br />

has an irregular configuration, forming a loop around an<br />

old cellar hole. The limited parking spaces do fill early on<br />

peak weekends.<br />

The Trail – There are two trails beginning at Crow<br />

Clearing, and the trail to Big Crow (and the west end of the<br />

Nun-da-ga-o path) begins at the north end of the parking<br />

area. It passes through a handsome balsam fir forest with<br />

▲ WESTON MOUNTAIN.<br />

PHOTOS BY BILL INGERSOLL<br />

two intermittent streams to cross. After the second, the<br />

trail promptly begins to climb. The balsams do not climb<br />

very high up the mountain with you; instead, red pines<br />

take over and offer a few early glimpses of the surrounding<br />

landscape. Giant Mountain can be seen over the side<br />

of Hurricane.<br />

At 0.4-mile and about 400 feet above the trailhead, you<br />

reach an intersection; to the right is the start of the Nunda-ga-o<br />

Ridge path. One small sign and perhaps a few trail<br />

markers are enough to get you started, but the majority<br />

of this route is unmarked. It begins by contouring around<br />

to a col on the north side of Big Crow and then following<br />

the ridgeline north. You do not have to wait long before<br />

encountering your first view – in about 10 minutes the<br />

path bisects a bald spot with a southerly vista, and then<br />

passes a ledge with a lateral view across a beaver quagmire<br />

toward Weston Mountain.<br />

Each successive knob is a little higher than the previous,<br />

and the views come at irregular intervals. At 1.2<br />

miles the path reaches the largest and steepest of the<br />

ledges; it comes in two parts, with a side path to another<br />

view in between. Continuing along the loop, the main<br />

path winds through the woods from ledge to ledge, and<br />

often it is merely a narrow corridor lined by balsam fir.<br />

Depending on the angle of the ledge, the views range from<br />

Weston at one extreme to Whiteface at the other. Note the<br />

gradual changes in the High Peaks as you circle the ridge:<br />

Giant slowly moves behind Hurricane, Big Slide becomes<br />

a prominent bump on the horizon vying with Marcy for<br />

prominence, and Pitchoff remains far more eye-catching<br />

than neighboring Cascade.<br />

Between 2.2 miles and 2.4 miles, the path spends a<br />

considerable amount of time on open rock, with promi-<br />

nent ledges at both ends. Here, the views are lined up well<br />

with the valley at Johns Brook – a distant gash in the High<br />

Peaks, located at the foot of Mount Marcy. These ledges<br />

also reveal the rocky summit of Coal Dirt Hill, which<br />

would no doubt offer many good views of its own.<br />

Strangely, though, the path bypasses Coal Dirt Hill and<br />

contours along its southern slopes instead. Upon reaching<br />

a col southeast of the summit, it promptly begins a long,<br />

gentle ascent of the northern ridge of Weston Mountain,<br />

which in turn leads to the summit itself at 3.2 miles (3.6<br />

miles from Crow Clearing). At 3,183 feet, this is the highest<br />

point on the loop. This view is notably different from<br />

all the previous ones you have encountered, for now Lost<br />

Pond is clearly visible in the high country between here<br />

and Hurricane. This watery element is absent from most<br />

of the rest of Nun-da-ga-o Ridge.<br />

The remaining 2.5 miles of the loop is a completely different<br />

experience, all of it following well-worn trail where<br />

encountering other hikers is far more likely. Although<br />

there are no markers between Weston and Lost Pond (as of<br />

2022), the route is obvious as it leads down the southwestern<br />

slopes, steeply at times, until 0.4-mile later it delivers<br />

you into the lush bottomland north of Lost Pond. The first<br />

landmark is the Biesemeyer Lean-To, a secluded shelter<br />

above 2,800 feet in elevation with limited water access.<br />

At this point you begin to see official trail markers for<br />

the first time since Big Crow. The trail skirts around the<br />

west side of Lost Pond, but if you wish to see its iconic view<br />

of Hurricane Mountain you will need to actively seek out<br />

shoreline openings.<br />

From the pond’s outlet, a long and gentle descent into<br />

the Gulf Brook valley follows. At a point about 1.5 miles<br />

from Weston’s summit, several things happen. First, you<br />

pass the relocated Gulf Brook Lean-To uphill on the right,<br />

and then the northern trail to Hurricane Mountain on the<br />

left. All that remains of your loop hike is the one-mile-long<br />

trunk trail back to Crow Clearing – a section so gentle that<br />

it passes quickly.<br />

Minnewaska<br />

State Park Preserve<br />

Carriage Roads with Scenic Views<br />

to Extend Your Season<br />

By Dave Kraus<br />

Whether you are a dirt riding<br />

newbie or an experienced<br />

“graveler,” there’s a perfect<br />

place in upstate to ride on well-maintained,<br />

unpaved roads while enjoying<br />

some of the most spectacular scenery you<br />

will find anywhere.<br />

Located in Ulster County, Minnewaska<br />

State Park Preserve perches on almost<br />

22,000 acres of pristine parkland on top<br />

of the Shawangunks Ridge between the<br />

Hudson River and the Catskills. The<br />

“’Gunks” rise gradually to Sam’s Point<br />

on the south end, while farther north the<br />

main park visitor center overlooks Lake<br />

Minnewaska, just off NY Route 44/55 that<br />

snakes its way over the ridge from New<br />

Paltz to Kerhonkson. The park was opened<br />

in 1993 after the state bought the property<br />

in 1987 to protect it from urban development.<br />

Since then, the park has been<br />

enlarged with significant assistance from<br />

the Nature Conservancy and Open Space<br />

Institute. OSI also helped fund the new<br />

Minnewaska Visitor Center that opened in<br />

2020. For more info: parks.ny.gov/parks/<br />

minnewaska.<br />

The Shawangunks Ridge is both geologically<br />

and biologically distinct from<br />

the Catskills to the west, hosting an ecosystem<br />

that includes plants and animals<br />

rarely found elsewhere in New York State.<br />

Chestnut oak forests and pitch pines are<br />

common, and the pines shrink to dwarf<br />

size toward the south end to create a miniature<br />

forest that’s also covered with blueberry<br />

bushes that turn a fiery red in the fall.<br />

Best of all, the park’s 35 miles of carriage<br />

roads give cyclists access to some incredible<br />

scenery including lakes, waterfalls,<br />

fall foliage, and spectacular views of both<br />

the Hudson Valley to the east and Catskill<br />

peaks to the west. As fall temperatures and<br />

foliage work their way south, riding in the<br />

Shawangunks is a great way to extend your<br />

cycling season for several more weeks after<br />

colors peak in the <strong>Adirondack</strong>s.<br />

Minnewaska has an entry fee of $10<br />

per vehicle at the main park entrance on<br />

Route 44/55. You can also get in with your<br />

Empire Pass, and on weekdays any senior<br />

over 62 can enter simply by scanning the<br />

QR code on the back of your New York<br />

driver’s license. There is a connecting carriage<br />

road to adjacent Mohonk Preserve<br />

and you can ride from one to the other.<br />

If so, you will need to pay a separate $20<br />

per person day use fee and the trails are<br />

actively patrolled in that private preserve<br />

run by a non-profit organization. The trails<br />

at the Mohonk Mountain House are open<br />

only to guests of that for-profit resort.<br />

This Minnewaska 13.5-mile beginner<br />

counter-clockwise gravel loop allows a<br />

first-time rider at the park to visit some<br />

of the most stunning viewpoints, while<br />

skipping the toughest climbs on the carriage<br />

road network. You will start from<br />

the Minnewaska Visitor Center that has<br />

restrooms, exhibits about the park, and<br />

park staff available to answer questions.<br />

Riding past the Lake Awosting beach, go<br />

out on the Upper Awosting carriage road,<br />

climbing gently at mile 2.5 past Litchfield<br />

Ledges that turn rain or snow into waterfalls<br />

of water or ice. Also here is the trail<br />

to Rainbow Falls where a short walk lets<br />

you see the rainbow after rain and a short<br />

walk. Just get there before mid-afternoon<br />

when the sun goes behind the cliff.<br />

A short descent brings you close to<br />

Lake Awosting, where another short<br />

detour can bring you to either the dam<br />

that enlarges the lake or the stone beach<br />

that also has restrooms (Note that swimming<br />

is only allowed until Labor Day).<br />

This intersection is also where you<br />

would continue to connect to the Smiley<br />

Carriage Road and High Point Road. The<br />

newly opened 2.8-mile High Point Road<br />

will now enable you to ride all the way to<br />

the Visitor Center at Sam’s Point Preserve.<br />

But be ready if you do, as the new road has<br />

some steep climbs of 11-13%.<br />

If you’re following this route, it’s also<br />

here where you turn left to start the climb<br />

up to Castle Point, past overhanging cliffs<br />

to the spectacular views atop the point. If<br />

you bring your lunch this is a great place<br />

to stop for a picnic.<br />

Continuing your ride on the gradual<br />

downhill from Castle Point you will<br />

come to one view after another across<br />

Palmaghatt Ravine past the cliffs of<br />

Gertrude’s Nose and toward the Hudson.<br />

There are some sharp curves near cliffs<br />

and no guard rails, so ride carefully!<br />

Just past 7.5 miles, you can either continue<br />

straight back to Lake Minnewaska<br />

or turn right for the out and back ride to<br />

Millbrook Mountain with its own spectacular<br />

cliff top views. On the way stop<br />

for a photo at Patterson’s Pellet, a glacial<br />

erratic boulder left behind by the retreating<br />

glaciers that helped shape this area.<br />

Heading back to the visitor center, you<br />

will have the steepest (but very short)<br />

climb up to the picnic area that gives you<br />

a final fantastic view over the lake toward<br />

the peaks of the Catskills.<br />

Here are some tips that will help you<br />

have a great ride at Minnewaska: Bicyclists<br />

must wear helmets, ride only on maintained<br />

carriage roads, yield and give warning to<br />

pedestrians and horses, and ride in a safe<br />

manner. Only class 1 e-bikes are allowed<br />

on park carriage roads; a type 1 ebike only<br />

assists the rider while pedaling and up to<br />

20mph. The roads feature great signage,<br />

but you can also pick up a park map at the<br />

main gate or visitor center. Be aware that<br />

park carriage roads may skirt steep dropoffs<br />

with minimal warning signage so exercise<br />

caution while keeping a close eye on<br />

children and inexperienced riders.<br />

More tips: Carry out what you bring<br />

in! Restrooms are only available at Lake<br />

Minnewaska and at the stone beach area<br />

at Lake Awosting. Arrive early if you are<br />

going on a weekend or holiday as parking<br />

lots fill-up quickly; park in the upper lots<br />

for easiest access to most of the carriage<br />

roads. Bring a lock and cable for your<br />

bikes if you plan to do any short off-bike<br />

walks to some of the viewpoints on this<br />

ride route. Take it easy! The carriage roads<br />

are designed for leisurely enjoyment, not<br />

high-speed cycling. Awosting Falls is a<br />

popular viewpoint, but the climb from<br />

it back to the visitor center is extremely<br />

steep for cyclists.<br />

Other areas you may want to avoid<br />

include: The southern end of the Lower<br />

Awosting Road climbing to Lake Awosting;<br />

steep sections of the Smiley and (newly<br />

▼ RIDERS ON CASTLE POINT.<br />

opened) High Point roads; and the full<br />

loop around Lake Awosting that’s very<br />

rough in places.<br />

If you’re looking for post-ride refreshments,<br />

head west down the hill to Rough<br />

Cut Brewing in Kerhonkson or stop by<br />

the Mountain Brauhaus at the base of the<br />

ridge in Gardiner.<br />

SEPTEMBER 2022.<br />

Self-Discovery by Adventuring Together<br />

By Pamela DelSignore & Jen Ferriss<br />

Back in April 2020, when time was all<br />

we had, an idea was born and collaboratively<br />

developed on a spreadsheet<br />

– The PBJ Challenge. Pam DelSignore, Beth<br />

Post, and Jen Ferriss (PBJ), running friends<br />

and members of the Saratoga Stryders,<br />

would test the limits of their athletic abilities,<br />

try something new or revisit a past goal.<br />

Pam became inspired by the<br />

Dirtbag Diaries podcast, episode 147,<br />

“Shenanigans:” dirtbagdiaries.com. In<br />

summary, two rock climbing friends, separated<br />

by miles, wrote letters challenging<br />

each other to climb tricky Boulder problems<br />

close to their homes. Challenge<br />

accepted; their friendship grew stronger.<br />

In 2020, this would be the perfect cure<br />

for isolation amid our “stay close to home”<br />

orders. The 2020/21 PBJ Challenge would<br />

run from Labor Day 2020 to Columbus<br />

Day 2021. We would train outdoors, six<br />

feet apart in order to complete our individual<br />

challenges together.<br />

In the spirit of the podcast, Beth and<br />

Jen challenged Pam (South Glens Falls) to<br />

climb Mount Marcy, a feat she had been<br />

talking about for years but never seemed<br />

to prioritize. Hiking up the highest peak<br />

in New York was not the challenge – but<br />

negotiating open summits and rock<br />

scrambles would test her mettle.<br />

Pam and Jen challenged Beth (Saratoga<br />

Springs) to run a half marathon. Beth started<br />

running in her 50s and perfected the<br />

run/walk technique. She loved data and<br />

used her Fitbit to help regulate her speed.<br />

However, Pam and Jen saw the technology<br />

as a barrier and Beth seemed skeptical of<br />

her ability to go farther than a 10K because<br />

her Fitbit was telling her to slow down. The<br />

Wineglass Half Marathon intrigued Beth<br />

and this challenge helped her commit.<br />

Lastly, Pam and Beth challenged Jen<br />

(Saratoga Springs) to cross-country ski a<br />

black diamond trail. Jen, being a new skier,<br />

had yet to find her groove and excelled at falling<br />

over. But Jen, full of spite and stubbornness,<br />

would put time and energy into learning<br />

how to stay upright, glide and embrace<br />

hills; even ones with trees and turns.<br />

The PBJ Challenge was the ultimate<br />

cross-training plan. With each season<br />

we found time to get outside and train<br />

on a weekly basis. We were there together<br />

to support each other’s challenge. We<br />

climbed Marcy, ran a half marathon and<br />

cross-country skied together. Additionally,<br />

we each had a stretch goal. Pam wanted<br />

to swim the length of Schroon Lake,<br />

Jen wanted to ride her bike up the Lake<br />

Desolation hill, and Beth wanted to kayak<br />

farther than her typical route.<br />

As with all plans we had to modify<br />

and be flexible. Instead of swimming<br />

the length of Schroon Lake, we had a PBJ<br />

Triathlon that took us from Lake Lonely to<br />

▲ MOUNT MARCY<br />

SUMMIT, 2021.<br />

Schuylerville. The bike up Lake Desolation<br />

never timed up well so Jen rode up every<br />

steep pitch of road off Saratoga Lake,<br />

and then up the Prospect Mountain road<br />

with Pam, while Beth ran it. Jen’s black<br />

diamond XC ski – became two seconds<br />

crossing a black diamond trail at the<br />

Garnet Hill Outdoor Center. And Beth’s<br />

virtual Wineglass Half Marathon fell on<br />

a hot and humid day. She completed it,<br />

but with a bit of disappointment for all<br />

the work she had put in. Jen further challenged<br />

Beth to run After the Leaves Have<br />

Fallen in Minnewaska State Park Preserve<br />

on a crisp fall day. The race was an absolute<br />

success for PBJ and the perfect end to<br />

the PBJ Challenge 2020-21.<br />

Pam, always looking for the next big<br />

thing and inspired by her brother, one day<br />

asked us if we would be interested in hiking<br />

the Northville-Placid Trail, a 138-milelong<br />

trail through the <strong>Adirondack</strong> Park<br />

connecting Northville and Lake Placid.<br />

Pam’s brother had solo thru-hiked the trail<br />

in 2011. Jen, the hiker in the group, could<br />

not contain herself – she finally had someone<br />

interested in hiking the trail that she<br />

was gearing up for (literally buying lightweight<br />

gear) for the past three years. She<br />

was in. Beth likes to say yes before knowing<br />

what she’s getting into, and so agreed<br />

as well. Little did we know how amazing<br />

this experience was going to be for our<br />

partners of Muench Workshops,<br />

he takes guests – and his own fitness<br />

routine – on photography-centered<br />

tours to locations including Alaska,<br />

Madagascar, Kenya, Cuba, Slovenia, and<br />

the Galapagos Islands.<br />

In his 20s, Andy participated in cycling<br />

and long-distance swimming and rode<br />

his bike 6,000 miles around and across<br />

the country. “That changed my life,” he<br />

remembers. Then is his 30s and 40s he<br />

lived what he calls “the good life – too<br />

many heavy meals, too much junk food,<br />

and no activity” that left him overweight<br />

and out of shape. Finally, in January of<br />

2020 he took his wife’s advice at age 58 and<br />

started to get serious about healthy living.<br />

He ended up losing over 100 pounds over<br />

the next 18 months and now religiously<br />

follows a fitness routine that he adapts to<br />

his trips to guide workshops around the<br />

world. Sadly, he lost his wife Nancy to cancer<br />

in August 2020 before she could see<br />

the final results of his efforts.<br />

“I still eat a tremendous amount, but I<br />

eat better – my plates are 75% vegetables<br />

and a handful of carbs and protein. I don’t<br />

try to over think it, but I eat a lot of calories<br />

because I’m working out a lot.” He does<br />

admit to being “addicted to ice cream”<br />

and often plans his bike rides to include<br />

an ice cream stop.<br />

Andy has been a photographer since<br />

age nine, starting out working at a local

camera store in Larchmont in Westchester<br />

County, where he opened the store in the<br />

morning, then graduated to running the<br />

darkroom. Later he worked at IBM, then<br />

spent ten years as COO of SmugMug, an<br />

online photography exhibition and marketing<br />

service for photographers. He’s a<br />

published author in worldwide magazines<br />

and newspapers, books, and his work<br />

hangs in boardrooms and living rooms<br />

around the world. He also displays his<br />

photos on his own website: andywillia.ms.<br />

Then in 2007 he and partners David<br />

Rosenthal and Marc Muench started<br />

Muench Workshops. “We had been doing<br />

sort of a sideline making fun photo weekends<br />

when I was COO of SmugMug and<br />

we had done that for seven years – long<br />

weekends in Yosemite, Acadia, and Bryce<br />

Canyon. We were sitting around the campfire<br />

in Death Valley and all three of us came<br />

to the conclusion that we could do this for<br />

a living.” Today Muench Workshops does<br />

over 120 expeditions annually and has a<br />

staff of 16 pro photographer guides and<br />

other employees.<br />

Andy credits determination and his<br />

Apple Watch with being his prime motivators<br />

as he worked to shed the weight<br />

and learn self-discipline to adhere to a<br />

workout schedule. “I put the watch on in<br />

January of 2020 and kept moving until it<br />

told me I had actively burned calories in a<br />

variety of different ways to the figure I had<br />

set. If it was 8pm and I hadn’t done it yet, I<br />

had to go out and do it.”<br />

Andy doesn’t stop his fitness routine<br />

just because he’s on tour. Most recently he<br />

and his girlfriend Leslie went mountain<br />

biking in Slovenia. When a bike is available,<br />

he will hire a local guide and ride with<br />

them. He says it’s worth it to pay someone<br />

who knows the best locations to ride, specific<br />

routes, and where to rent a reliable<br />

bike. He’s followed this strategy to ride in<br />

the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, Slovenia,<br />

Croatia, Patagonia (“it was amazing”),<br />

Namibia, Canada, Alaska, and Spain.<br />

“From a fitness and exploration standpoint<br />

I love doing that. The coolest way to<br />

see a new city or area is by bike. We’ve gone<br />

into Zagreb, Croatia’s capital, and rented<br />

bikes – it’s a great way to see the city.”<br />

If there’s no bike available, he still does<br />

what he calls his baseline fitness routine,<br />

running a 5K every day and doing some<br />

high intensity interval training. “No matter<br />

where I am in the world. I’ll run anywhere<br />

even though I hate it because it’s an<br />

activity you can do anywhere.”<br />

He also takes some compact fitness<br />

equipment with him. “I use TRX straps<br />

that you can buy for home or travelling<br />

and it’s the size of a softball when you roll<br />

it up – I never go anywhere without my<br />

TRX. I can use them in a hotel room or<br />

even attached to tree in Kenya.”<br />

At home in Saratoga Springs, Andy<br />

concentrates on his cycling with a stable<br />

that includes mountain and fat bikes, plus<br />

a road bike modified to run flat bars that<br />

he finds more comfortable for road and<br />

gravel riding. He got his first new bike in<br />

2020 when he moved to Saratoga Springs,<br />

and walked into the store looking for a<br />

new bike in the depths of pandemic supply<br />

chain disruptions.<br />

“They kind of laughed at me with<br />

‘Do you know how hard it is to get a bike<br />

right now?!’” But they did have a Domane<br />

model in stock and he ended up buying it<br />

the first time he saw it, the first new bike<br />

he had bought in over 30 years. Since then,<br />

he has ridden all around the region near<br />

his home and particularly likes attending<br />

Bike <strong>Adirondack</strong>s events. He credits the<br />

organization’s “Find a Ride” website page<br />

with helping him find many of his favorite<br />

bike routes: bikeadirondacks.com.<br />

Wherever he goes in upstate NY or<br />

around the world, he always has his<br />

iPhone with its 48mp camera with him<br />

just in case he comes across “the” shot,<br />

and he makes sure to exercise in some way<br />

every day. “I don’t feel good if I don’t exercise.<br />

If my day doesn’t include some sort<br />

of physical activity I don’t feel right.”<br />

▲ Elliptical bikes have a gentle long-stride motion that<br />

feels like running on air.<br />

Take Your Fitness<br />

to the Next Level!<br />

8C – 8-speed. The 8C is the world’s most popular elliptical bike. You’ll<br />

feel like you’re “running on air” with eight gears capable of tackling<br />

tough climbs, it suits athletes and recreational riders. Whether your<br />

goal is to lose weight, crosstrain or just get moving, it delivers the best<br />

bang for your buck.<br />

11R – 11-speed. If you seek the ultimate elliptical experience, the 11R<br />

is the only one that offers the patented running-like pedaling motion,<br />

vibration-dampening carbon-fiber drive arms, and a folding-steering<br />

column for easy transport – and has the widest gear range of any bike.<br />

Over 250 high schools, colleges & universities use the ElliptiGO as a<br />

training tool for their cross-country running teams. Low impact training<br />

allows recovery of injured hips, knees, ankles. So smooth<br />

it feels like running on air, very gentle on your joints.<br />

ElliptiGO delivers a low-impact, full-body workout that burns 33% more<br />

calories than a traditional bike. Stand-up riding reduces stress on your<br />

neck/back and eliminates seat pain. It is a great workout since it engages<br />

your core and upper body in addition to your legs. The higher riding<br />

position makes it easier to see and be seen.<br />

Electric conversion<br />

kits available for<br />

all models.<br />

SUB lineup may be the fastest standup on the road<br />

today with full-size 700c tires and disc brakes to<br />

COMMUNITY continued from 19<br />

friendship. It also officially secured our Tramily Name of<br />

PBJ. And so, the PBJ Challenge 2022 was born.<br />

As it happened, in 2022 the <strong>Adirondack</strong> Mountain Club<br />

and the NPT were both celebrating a 100-year anniversary.<br />

The club took this opportunity to award a special patch<br />

and other incentives to anyone who raised a minimum of<br />

$100 and completed 100 miles inside the <strong>Adirondack</strong> Park<br />

that year. Did someone say patch? Challenge on!<br />

Together we progressively completed the trail in<br />

September 2022 by hiking it northbound in seven sections.<br />

We learned to backpack and how to sleep in remote<br />

wilderness. A first for each of us. All in, we did much<br />

more than 138 miles, all with intention, except for that<br />

time we walked halfway around Tirrell Pond following an<br />

unmarked herd path. A lesson in navigation learned. We<br />

could not have completed the trail without the help and<br />

support of friends and family who drove us to trailheads,<br />

hiked with us and listened to our tales from the trail. The<br />

quality time spent with each other, and our collective ability<br />

to lead, follow and learn from each other was a gift. Jen<br />

is no longer the only hiker in the group.<br />

Orienteering was a sidebar activity on the original PBJ<br />

list of challenges; <strong>2023</strong> was the year we finally took the<br />

time to learn how to use our compasses. We successfully<br />

completed the NPT with the use of maps, staying focused,<br />

and by using a few tricks – like pointing our poles in the<br />

direction of travel when going off trail.<br />

In 2021, we learned about the Empire Orienteering<br />

Club. EMPO has virtual courses available, so we decided<br />

to give map and compass a try in Moreau Lake State<br />

Park, a place we frequent and feel comfortable going offtrail.<br />

We downloaded the UsynligO app, (which means<br />

‘InvisibleO’ in Norwegian), printed out some maps, and<br />

headed into the woods. Since we were “winging it,” our<br />

logical approach was to go from one checkpoint to the<br />

next in a straight line. The first time out, in two hours we<br />

found zero checkpoints. The second time out, after some<br />

research and a map and compass class, we found two…<br />

in three hours. This had to be easier, people were getting<br />

through the whole course in 45 minutes.<br />

Pam, diving in feet first, decided to sign up for the<br />

New York Adventure Racing Association’s Trilogy Race.<br />

Adventure racing is most often a team sport which<br />

requires participants to navigate an unmarked wilderness<br />

course over a period of time, using only maps<br />

and a compass to collect checkpoints. Adventure races<br />

incorporate multiple off-road disciplines, but primarily<br />

include mountain biking, trekking and paddling. Total<br />

immersion! This time around Jen and Beth hemmed and<br />

hawed. This race required mountain bikes, an additional<br />

cost to the racing fee. It also required that PBJ learn how<br />

to ride those mountain bikes and how to successfully use<br />

a compass. At the time, Beth was getting stronger on her<br />

road bike and wanted to ride as far and fast as she could.<br />

Jen was committed to several ultra trail running events<br />

and didn’t see how she could commit.<br />

Was this to be the end of PBJ? Jen and Beth found a way<br />

to make it work, because we both wanted another bike in<br />

our growing collections. We all took a Map & Compass<br />

Fundamentals skills workshop offered by the <strong>Adirondack</strong><br />

Mountain Club. We practiced, watched YouTube videos,<br />

read articles, listened to podcasts, and eventually signed<br />

up for the NYARA Trilogy Race in June and the Maine<br />

Summer Adventure Race in July.<br />

▶ PBJ SLIDING TO<br />

THE FINISH OF THE<br />

PBJ TRIATHLON, 2021.<br />

Welcome to the PBJ Challenge <strong>2023</strong>. Through our<br />

research we realized that a team of four would be ideal<br />

so we welcomed Liz DaBramo (Moreau) our team and<br />

became PB&JeLi. Blessed with good weather, these races<br />

were a great experience and proof that if dropped in the<br />

woods with only a map and compass, we can now find<br />

our way home.<br />

Over the course of the past three years, we have rediscovered<br />

our athletic happy places and have excelled. Pam<br />

learned that she loves adventure racing and mountain biking,<br />

Beth rides fast and goes longer and harder on the roads,<br />

and Jen fell down the ultra trail running rabbit hole and can’t<br />

get out, as hard as she tries. Our friendship is strong and we<br />

continue to find time to spend with each other enjoying the<br />

outdoors – even when it’s not our passion sport.<br />

What we found out is that each one of us is a runner…<br />
