Welcome to the Road Cycling Page

Empire State Trail Bike-Packing Ride

110 Mile - All Day Adventure

 

This is a 110 mile segment of the Empire State Trail in upper state New York. 


A one-way down hill adventure all on a Bike Path.  

The  entire length of the Empire State Trail is over 700 miles from The  Great Lakes to NYC. 

 

This segment should be the most beautiful portion of the Erie Canal portion with the Adirondacks to the North and the Catskills Mountains to the South. 

 

Either paved bike path, or compressed gravel road. 

100% off of the roads and travels through many small towns along the way.

Our plan is a 2 day bike packing trip taking a Bus ($40) from Boston to Utica, and catch a return bus in Albany the next day.


This  is a new adventure. The Empire State Trail officially opened last  October.  

Be the first in your group to tell the story of all the fun  you had on this All Day Adventure.

ADA's Best Road Ride: The North Shore Farms and Backroads

North Shore Farms and Backroads (Road Ride)

Farms and Back Roads of the North Shore. This ride is an enjoyable afternoon ride when you feel like avoiding traffic and the heat of the day almost completely in the shade of tree lined roads.  A perfect Solo-ride to settle your mind.


Near 55 miles long, this is a Road Ride for the medium level road cyclist. (Updated and Extended for 2017)

Farms and Backroads Ride

Other Self-Guided Road Rides

Coastline Road Tour with Site-Seeing

The Cape Ann Road Ride Tour is probably the most photogenic bike ride you can take on the North Shore. 


This is an Intermediate Level road ride, because of distance (45+ miles) and hilly terrain. Great ride for the cycling couple, or a small tour group.

Cape Ann Coastline Tour

ADA's Longest North Shore Road Ride

The Newburyport to Salem Coastal Road Ride is a long hilly road ride, with lots of coastline scenic views. This ride is designed to be more riding focus than the other road rides. Other (shorter) rides I have listed have a lot of leisure time built in, taking you to better viewing locations. 


While this ride has some wonderful view points and scenic stops, this ride is 60+ miles and endless rolling hills.. Plan for a long ride day.


North Shore Coastline Ride

Plymouth to Boston Coastline Road Ride

Starting in Plymouth Mass, this ride is an Advanced-Level Road Ride with 80+ miles of coastline riding back up to Boston. A fairly flat ride, the route keeps you off the main roads and on the coastline as much as possible. Expect 6 – 10 hours for this ride.

 

Many of the rides use the MBTA Train System to start or end a ride. These (3) rides are good examples of that.
