Most of our Schuylerville rides start from the ADIRONDACK ULTRA CYCLING BIKE SHOP, located at: 160 Broad Street, Schuylerville, NY 12871. Broad Street (or Broadway/NY 29/NY 32/US 4 on some mapping programs) is the main road in Schuylerville and there are both businesses and residences here. Please be
courteous when arriving and departing, especially if it is late at night or
early in the morning and do not park in another business' lot or block or impede a driveway or the street itself, otherwise your vehicle may be towed. There is usually ample parking on the street in front of the store or on the adjacent side streets.
Schuylerville is located on the Hudson River
about 200 miles north of New York City, 200 miles south of Montreal and 200 miles west of Boston.
Schuylerville is centrally located on the Hudson River
about 200 miles from New York City, Montreal and Boston, and is an area rich in colonial history. The village was first settled in 1691 by the Dutch and called Fort Saratoga, with the surrounding area simply known as Saratoga.
The area came to prominence in the fall of 1777, by playing host to to the American's first major victory over the British during the Revolutionary War. This victory resulted in the loss or capture of over 9,000 British troops, and was credited with being the turning point in the revolution. The battle also featured the cunning strategies of Major General Benedict Arnold, without whom the Americans surely would have lost.
The village was later incorporated as Schuylerville, to honor the American force's first area commander: General Philip Schuyler. Also, many area roads were named for prominent battle participants, both American and British, and a 155' stone tall tower was erected in 1855 to commemorate the battle.
The Schuyler family has also been brought to the attention of the general population recently, with the popularity of the Broadway Musical HAMILTON, including daughter Elizabeth, who married Alexander Hamilton. The SCHUYLER HOUSE, located just south of the village, is part of the SARATOGA NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK.
