Thank you for your interest in the First Century. This ride is presented by Adirondack Ultra Cycling and is part of the ADIRONDACK ULTRA CHALLENGE.

This ride starts promptly at the ADIRONDACK ULTRA CYCLING BIKE SHOP, located at: 160 Broad Street, Schuylerville, NY. Broad Street is the main street in Schuylerville and is also US 4, NY 29 and NY 32. The shop is located on the east side of the road, about halfway between the two traffic lights. Please arrive early enough to give yourself time to park, check in and get ready, so that we may start on time. If this ride has a time limit and/or recorded time, please note that times are recorded "door to door," with all rest stops, mechanical stops, delays, etc., included in your official finish time. The official event clock begins at the advertised start time, whether or not you are actually riding, and all finishing times are recorded when a rider checks in with the official time keeper. If a rider dawdles at their car or changes or packs up before checking in, their time will reflect that, just as if you took a break in the middle of the ride.

If the weather is a little brisk, we'll meet inside the shop. If it's nice out, we'll meet in the backyard. To access the backyard, please use Beagle Lane, which is off Saratoga Street, which is off Broad Street. Please note that there is no parking in the backyard or on Beagle Lane and the shop does not have a parking lot. There is ample parking on the streets in front of and on the side of the shop, but please make sure not to use another business' parking lot, whether or not they are open, or block anyone's driveway or the street itself, as your car may be ticketed or towed if you do. For additional parking, you may also use the parking lot at Fort Hardy Park, which is at the end of Saratoga Street by the river. The shop will be open before and after the ride, in case you need anything or forgot something, and if you would like your bike serviced (or assembled if you are travelling to the start) before this ride, please CONTACT US as soon as possible to schedule your work.

We are going to use our Triple Loop route, which consists of three scenic and rolling loops along the Hudson River and through Saratoga County, with each loop returning to the shop where riders can take a break, warm up and resupply.
