We had another great iteration of the annual ADX weekend, this year. It was the same crew as last year with a few caveats. We had a new friend join us on the Friday section, starting in Catskill Park up until we stopped for lunch at Taco29 in Cahajoharie. Lukas’ bike was being a diva and he would not be getting it back from the shop in time to ride (nor could we round up a loaner in time). So he opted to join us on 4 wheels. It was actually pretty nice to have support vehicle come along! Russ was finishing an extended vacay in VT and ended up riding straight from there to meet up with us in Newcomb on Friday Night.
We mixed in a new unpaved section on Saturday, through the heart of Adirondack Park, where we encountered some sections of deep sand and deep gravel. Happily, everyone managed to make it through without issue, even Szabi on the Ducati Hyper, rocking Pirelli Corsa Rosso IVs!
Another highlight from Saturday’s loop was finally having nice enough weather to jump into the secret swimming hole that we stumbled across a couple years ago. Ultimately, we spent so much time goofing around on Saturday, that we did not make it to Lake Placid until well after 4:00PM, and subsequently arrived at the entrance gate for Whiteface after they had closed for the day. Can’t win ’em all!
I logged roughly 740 miles on the weekend. The guys who came up from the city obviously clocked significantly more. Good times were had by all. Can’t wait to do it again next year.
