ADK 540 winner Ray Greenlaw taking the climb out of Keene Valley on his first lap.


TOUGH RACE!

The 2013 edition of the ADIRONDACK 540 proved to be one of the toughest.

Despite temperatures in the 90s just two days prior to the start of the 15th running of the race, the mercury barely broke 60 all weekend.  And when the cool temperatures were combined with a steady wind and the rugged terrain, only two riders were able to push through to the finish.

They were Ray Greenlaw of Hope, RI, and David George of Fredericksburg, VA. Ray avenged his DNF from last year and David maintained his perfect record, while finishing for the 7th time.

The Silver Sojourn 272 saw both entrants finish, with John Jenkins of Absecon, NJ, finishing in an impressive 19H:34M, and 62 year old Peter Phillips of Wynnewood, PA, finishing in 33H:12M, after taking the night off, between laps.

John Nobile of Guilford, CT, set his sites on the one lap race, a year after setting the overall RECORD, and won in a very impressive 07H:15M, which set an age group RECORD.

ADA certified service animals will be permitted in areas where the general public is permitted, according to ADA regulations. If arriving with an ADA certified service animal, please have its ADA identification vest on at all times and its certification papers ready for inspection.

  • LIGHT REQUIREMENTS FOR NIGHT RIDES:

    • Lights and reflective gear must be used from dusk to dawn and are highly recommended for daytime use as well. Riders caught on the road after dark without lights will be immediately disqualified and pulled from the course.

    • One 600 lumen minimum steady white light, attached to the bicycle must be used in the front. Please note that helmet mounted lights are not acceptable to meet our minimum requirements, but may be used as a second supplemental light.

    • Two 50 lumen minimum red lights, both attached to the bicycle (or a bag/rack attached to the bicycle) must be used in the rear. One is to be set to flashing, the other to steady.

    • A reflective sash, vest or jacket on the upper body must be used. If a backpack is used, it must be reflective, have a reflective cover or not obscure the reflective sash, vest or jacket in any way. Reflective ankle bands/legwear/footwear must also be used.

    OTHER LIGHTING NOTES:

      • Additional lighting and reflective gear is highly recommended and flashing lights, both front and rear, are also highly recommended for daytime use.

      • Make sure you have enough battery power to get through the entire ride, which varies between 2-40 hours.

      • Our lighting requirements supersede all other sanctioning organization's requirements.

      • If you have any questions about our lighting requirements, please CONTACT US before you register for any of our night rides, especially if you have any issues with flashing lights, as we do not make exceptions to our requirements and no refund will be given for lighting issues.

• GENERAL RIDE GUIDELINES

  • Due to insurance requirements, motorized bicycles are not permitted on our rides. This includes all types of e-bikes and pedal assist bikes. Riders that arrive with a motorized bicycle will not be permitted to participate in our events and will be asked to leave immediately and no refund or credit will be issued.
  • Due to insurance requirements, pets are not permitted on our rides or on our ride premises by any associated person attending our events. This includes riders, volunteers, friends, family, spectators, etc. Anyone arriving with a pet and/or their associated rider will not be permitted to participate in our events and will be asked to leave immediately and no refund or credit will be issued. ADA certified service animals will be permitted in areas the general public is permitted, according to ADA regulations. If arriving with an ADA certified service animal, please have its ADA identification vest on at all times and its certification papers ready for inspection.
  • All of our events start promptly and most leave from the ADIRONDACK ULTRA CYCLING BIKE SHOP. Refer to each event for its exact starting location and time. Please arrive at least a half hour before the start time to check in, get ready, receive last minute instructions and have your bike inspected. When arriving and departing, please be courteous, especially if it is early in the morning or late at night, as our starting locations are typically in mixed residential/business neighborhoods. Please do not park in another business' lot or block a driveway or the street itself, otherwise your vehicle may be towed. The shop does not have a parking lot, but there is ample street parking in front of the shop and on adjacent streets. For travel directions and parking instructions to the shop, CLICK HERE.
  • Ride 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.
  • Unless otherwise stated, our rides do not have an "official" time limit, but dusk is our "soft" time limit for rides that do not involve night riding. Most riders should finish well before the sun sets, but if anyone is still riding after dark and they are coherent, riding in a safe manner, properly prepared and meet our lighting requirements, they will be allowed to continue. However, if they are not coherent and/or not riding in a safe manner and/or not properly prepared and/or do not meet our lighting requirements, they will immediately be pulled from the course.
  • Drafting is allowed in all of our events and group riding is encouraged.
  • Helmets must be worn at all times while cycling.
  • All traffic laws, signals, signs, devices, etc., must be obeyed at all times.
  • All turns, stops, slow downs, etc., must be signaled and/or called out to other riders and other traffic.
  • Always ride with traffic, ride defensively and be aware of your surroundings. Watch out for other traffic and never assume another vehicle will stop or yield, even if you have the right of way.
  • Riders must get completely off the road when stopped.
  • Ride no more then 2 abreast and only when traffic permits, and you must single up when traffic approaches from the rear.
  • Keep as far to the right as safety permits and if there is a rideable shoulder or bike lane you must use it.
  • Most of our routes are unmarked. Be prepared to navigate on your own and follow a cue sheet and/or GPS device. If relying on an electronic device for navigation, please make sure you have enough battery power for the entire ride, and be aware that in cold conditions and areas where there is low reception, batteries may drain at a faster then normal rate.
  • Most of our events are unsupported on the road but snacks, pocket food and drinks will be provided at the start, middle (if returning to the shop) and finish. Riders should expect to be self-sufficient and have the ability to follow GPS directions and/or a cue sheet and use convenience stores to resupply along the route. Emergency SAG will be available in extreme situations, but please note we do not consider a flat tire an extreme situation. If you are not sure what to bring or how to carry it on your bike, feel free to CONTACT US and/or view our RIDER CHECKLIST.
  • Sanctioned events will have other rules and regulations specific to their governing organization. Please refer to each event's page for exact details.
  • Drug testing using WADA guidelines may be performed on any entrant up to 30 days before or after the event they have registered for. In addition, any rider under suspension by any sports governing body is prohibited from entering our events.
PRIVACY STATEMENT: We do not share your personal information with any other person, club, event, business, organization, etc., without your consent, except as required to submit official results to sanctioning organizations.

If you have any questions about our guidelines, feel free to CONTACT US.
