Daily routes average about 65 miles, and overnight sites will offer amenities including catered meals featuring locally sourced foods; a beer and wine garden featuring local brews and vintages; a live entertainment stage; a mobile spa with massage, yoga and other wellness services; and local wildlife and conservation experts offering education and information. photo by L.E. Baskow (continued on page 11) BFC Champion Profles continued... BFC 2014 Women’s Champion Rosanne Van Dorn (continued from page 1) Rosanne started racing bikes back in 2000 for 5 years and then took the next 5 years off while raising 2 little ones. Have been having fun riding and getting back into some races the past couple of years. Being a native Adirondack’r, my background is more outdoor adventure oriented w/ rock/ ice climbing, mountaineering, and skiing then transitioned to more aerobic sports like biathlon, marathons, Ironman…; settling with cycling as my favorite. Cycling Experience over the past year: I have enjoyed participating in a team that helps promote advocacy for women’s cycling of all ages and abilities, especially return to sport for women after kids. Any Special Training: My kids are getting bigger and faster so I like to think chasing after them keeps me in shape. I continually have to evolve and be creative to carve time out and fnd time to ride. I enjoy joining a training partner or jumping into a local group ride for some social rides. Cycling Goals: I have been very fortunate to have a supportive family that makes me feel like I am on the podium everyday so my goals are always met. Returning to the BFC to repeat a win and ride in the opposite direction would be a highlight. Why the BFC? I remember hearing positive accolades about the race from a co-worker a decade and 1/2 ago, so the buzz was there. I had never raced a MTB race before, but my interest had been peaked when I heard you could race on a cyclocross bike. How is the BFC different? I had never raced a gravel race before so was a little unsure of what to expect. What I got was an 800-person mixed-gender mass start, point to point race, on every combination of 2 wheels w/ fast intense pace lining, rough rocky pot-holed dirt roads, sinking sand, muddy puddles, white-knuckled descents, and lung burning climbs. My kind of FUN. It was EPIC! How can we improve the BFC? I think your current model has proven success so the best improvement would be to make none. Riders and racers will return because it is a great well-run race, in a beautiful locale, and an amazing experience. I have seen other gravel races with a “winner takes all” approach and this would defnitely elevate the level of elite attendees.

  • Excursion to Climb Mt. Arab in the Adirondack Mountains Near Tupper Lake
    TRIP B-3 EXCURSION TO CLIMB MT. ARAB IN THE ADIRONDACK MOUNTAINS NEAR TUPPER LAKE William Kirchgasser, Department of Geology, SUNY Potsdam [email protected] INTRODUCTION The easily reached summit of Arab Mountain (Mt. Arab of trail guides), near Tupper Lake in southern St. Lawrence County, with its Fire Tower and open overlooks, offers spectacular panaramic views of the Adirondack Mountains. For geologists, naturalists and tourists of all ages and experiences, it is an accessible observatory for contemplating the geologic, biologic and cultural history of this vast wilderness exposure of the ancient crust of the North American continent. My connection to Mt. Arab began in the 1980s on the first of several hikes to the summit in the fall season with Elizabeth (Betsy) Northrop's third grade classes from Heuvelton Central School. Although the highways and waterways in these mountains can offer breathtaking vistas, to truly experience the expanse and quiet grandure ofthe Adirondacks, one must climb to a summit. At two miles roundtrip on a well-maintained trail and only 760 ft. (232 m) elevation change, Mt. Arab is ranked among the easiest of the fire tower trails in New York State (Freeman, 2001); at a leisurely pace the summit at 2545 ft (176m) elevation can be reached in thirty to forty-five minutes. Mt. Arab is included in many trail guides, among them one with many useful tips on hiking with children in the Adirondacks (Rivezzi and Trithart, 1997). Through the efforts of the Friends ofMt. Arab, the Fire Tower and Observer's Cabin have been restored and there are trail guides available at the trailhead.

  • Men on the Mountain."
    United States Department of Agriculture Men on the Forest Service Mountain Intermountain Region Ashley National Forest Ashley National Forest Vernal, Utah This story is dedicated to the personnel - - - past and present - of the Vernal Ranger District. - - Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. - Eccl. 9:10 2 Preface "Hell is paved with good intentions," and the undertaking to write this history is a monument among them. At the onset, I fully intended to make this complete to the minutest detail and as flawless as human ability permits. Three things have thwarted these noble desires. 1. The preponderance of historical events and information in the area - mostly in the form of old-timers; 2. The scarcity of written information of the area and, worse yet, the unreliability and contradictory nature of what recorded history exists; 3. The necessity of completing this work in four months instead of the intended period of at least one year. Nevertheless, the history of District 2 is begun. Corrections will be needed in this text and should definitely be made. Omissions should be added and sketchy incidents enlarged upon. This responsibility will rest with those following me, but within these covers is the start of what could be a model for historical reports of other Ranger Districts in the Forest service. It was once said, "History is, indeed, little more than the register of the crises, follies and misfortunes of mankind." I say history is, indeed, little more than people.

  • ADK Mohican Newsletter
    ADK MOHICAN CHAPTER From the Chair We are almost back to our three month newsletter! After 6 months, we tentatively began our schedule of ADK member hikes for the last three weekends in September following the COVID Guidelines directed by Headquarters. For the month of October, we announced joint hikes with Westchester Trails Association. (See the write-ups for Trip Tales below). This is our first expanded two-month newsletter since COVID; and starting in January 2021, we will be returning to our three-month newsletter. Our newsletter is being distributed electronically to 83% of our membership and the remainder are sent via mail for those with no email address listed. We would like to improve on that number— the chapter will save on postage and paper. Look at the last page of your newsletter to see details about signing up electronically. A Couple of Notes: A reminder that we are following COVID Guidelines, which limit our hikes to 10 members. (This may change the first of the year-- we are awaiting word from Headquarters). Please wear a mask at trailheads and continue to wear if you are less than 6 feet from another person. There is no carpooling unless a family unit. It is a good idea to register early for the hike of your choosing. Easy hikes have been filling up with several having a waiting list. Another reminder--It is Hunting Season--Why not wear something orange when hiking in areas where hunting is allowed. Bow hunting began in NY State (including some preserves in Westchester County) on October 1st and continues through December 31st.
