Celebrate International Women's Day with a 100 KM POPULAIRE! This ride is part of the SARATOGA BREVET SERIES and is sanctioned by AUDAX CLUB PARISIEN and RANDONNEURS USA. We will follow their RULES & REGULATIONS, as well as OUR OWN RULES.
This ride is being held to celebrate INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY and we will waive the entry for all female riders.
Our route will be a loop course that takes us from Schuylerville around Saratoga Lake, north to Saratoga Springs and Glens Falls, then back to the start along the Hudson River
We'll start at the ADIRONDACK ULTRA CYCLING BIKE SHOP, ride to and around Saratoga Lake, up to Saratoga Springs, with a control at the TANG TEACHING MUSEUM, then continue north to Glens Falls with another control at the HYDE COLLECTION, and finally a return to the shop. If the weather cooperates and the FEEDER CANAL TRAIL is clear of snow and ice, we'll use it. If not, we'll use parallel roads.
The Tang is a teaching museum on the campus of Skidmore College and was built in part with a major gift by Frances Young Tang's family in memory of the 1961 graduate shortly after she passed away in 1992. The museum focuses on education and regularly holds classes and activities for the Skidmore student body, as well as for visiting students. The museum also regularly exhibits works by women and will have several exhibits by women in March, when we visit.
The Hyde Collection was endowed when Charlotte Pruyn Hyde established a trust in 1952 that dedicated her home and her extensive art collection to the community. After the death of her husband in 1934, Mrs. Hyde spent the next 30 years tripling the size of their already well respected art collection into the foundation for the museum, which permanently opened to the general public in 1963, shortly after Mrs. Hyde passed away. Their collection includes works by women artists such as: Dorothy Dehner, Virginia Berresford, Marilyn Bridges, Louisa Chase, Julie Doucet, Mary Frank and Wilhelmina Weber Furlong. Several of these artists were active during the women's suffrage movement and were pioneers in an art community that was dominated by men.
The time limit for this ride will be on the generous side (6H:40M), so there should be a little time to browse either or both museums. If not, come the day before or stay an extra day to visit them, and I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
We'll start promptly from the ADIRONDACK ULTRA CYCLING BIKE SHOP, located at: 160 Broad Street, SCHUYLERVILLE, NY. When arriving and departing, please be courteous, especially if it is early in the morning or late at night, as this is a mixed residential/business neighborhood. Also make sure to give yourself adequate time to arrive, check in, register and get ready, and please do not park in another business' lot or block a driveway or the street itself, otherwise your vehicle may be towed. We do 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, CLICK HERE.
Same day, on-site registration will be available and begins one hour before start time. You may also pre-register for any of our events at the shop at any time during our regular business hours or on-line at BIKE REG.
Be sure to dress according to the conditions, and if you think you may finish after dark, you'll also need to use lights and must adhere to our minimum lighting requirements: 600 lumen minimum steady white light in the front, attached to the bicycle; two 50 lumen minimum red lights in the rear (one set to flashing, one set to steady), both attached to the bicycle; a reflective sash, vest or jacket; and reflective ankle bands or footwear. Additional lighting and reflective gear is also highly recommended and please note that helmet mounted lights are not acceptable as your primary light, but may be used as a supplemental light. Lights are also highly recommended for daytime use as well, both front and rear, set to flashing. Please make sure you have enough battery power to get through the entire night and/or ride, which will be between 2-40 hours. If you have any questions about our lighting requirements, please CONTACT US before you register for any of our night rides. Our lighting requirements supersede all other sanctioning organization's requirements.
This ride will be unsupported on the road, unless stated otherwise in this description, but we'll have food at the start and finish, along with gels, drinks and bars to take along with us. We'll also provide emergency sag, if needed, but generally as a last resort, so please make sure you are properly trained and equipped for this ride. To help you prepare, we've created a rider checklist. To view it, CLICK HERE. The shop will also be open before and after the ride, in case anyone needs anything or forgot something. In addition, if you need your bike serviced for this ride, CONTACT US to set up an appointment. We can usually accommodate riders on short notice, but a week's time frame is best, especially if you need major work preformed.
This ride will be held rain or shine, but if there is a chance of snow, ice or other dangerous conditions, it will be postponed and rescheduled. If that occurs, and a pre-registered rider can't make the new date, they'll be given credit toward another ride. Otherwise, entry fees are non refundable and non transferable.
DUE TO INSURANCE REGULATIONS, PLEASE NOTE THAT MOTORIZED BICYCLES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, E-BIKES AND PEDAL ASSIST BICYCLES, AND PETS, ARE PROHIBITED FROM OUR EVENTS. RIDERS ARRIVING WITH A MOTORIZED BICYCLE OR PET WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS EVENT AND NO REFUND WILL BE ISSUED.

ADIRONDACK ULTRA CYCLING GENERAL INFORMATION FOR RIDES
• 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 and pizza or pasta at the 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.
