The 26th annual Lake George Getaway Weekend (a club favorite!) will take place Friday afternoon Sept. 11 through Monday Sept. 14. We will be staying on the lake in Bolton Landing, located 8.5 miles north of the Village of Lake George on the western shoreline. There is a facility for storing your bike indoors at the hotel. While this is a cycling weekend, there are lots of off the bike activities to suit most tastes, including sitting on the dock taking in the view. Check out options at: www.lakegeorge.com

This event is for MAFW members only, however, members may bring non-cycling guests who are residents of their household. Other non-MAFW members wishing to cycle will be subject to an additional fee of $30 for a one year club membership. Registration and payment including club membership fees for non-members are required in advance.

Additional Information:

The cycling is for experienced and self-sufficient cyclists. Cyclists generally form into groups, but there will not be any formal SAG or support. The rides are mostly C terrain and done at a leisurely to moderate pace. There will be optional rides available for everyone from “casual” to A terrain.

Bring a windbreaker and tights in case we get some cool off shore winds as well as a rain jacket (just in case, but hopefully will not be needed). For off the bike, plan on bringing clothing covering everything from summer swimming weather to mid-fall chills.

Hope to see you there for some great Adirondack fun.
