Plenty of climbing involved elsewhere. Started out hiking so I could eventually ride the trails so it definitely part of the plan but was a real nice surprise/change to not have to. Trailforks is the best app purchase I have ever made. I would probably still be wandering around in there if I didn’t have it.
Thank you for the info. Saw a couple youtube videos and the place looked like a blast so wanted to give it a go.
@not2brite how was it?
Amazing scenery, photos like these remind me that I need to explore more of PA.
That part of Pennsylvania is pretty wild with some nice small towns.
I hit 3 different places in 3 days and each seemed better than the last. Started out in Peck Hill State Forest in Gloversville. I was on the northern section off of Route 399 and it was awesome. Very well maintained trails and totally empty on a Monday morning. If anyone decides to give it a try my suggestion would be to park in the lower section off of West Fulton street. They share a parking lot with Stump City Brewery. They have limited hours but if you google it definitely looks like its worth a stop after a ride. Day 2 I went over to Gurney Lane in Queensbury. I did not realize its a rec area run by the town or county. They have some nices pools and pavilions and the trail system was outstanding. Didn't even need trailforks as the whole place is mapped out and signage everywhere at every intersection. First two places were great and I will definitely be going back to both, but Day 3 was just off the charts. I am new at the sport, and old (53), and working my way into physical condition for the first time since my 20's. With that in mind, Kalabus Perry in Saratoga Springs, was heaven on 2 wheels. Pretty much all green trails, very smooth and fun, very little vertical, stayed on the bike the whole time and spent about 2 hours pedalling non stop. It was my third day in a row so I was dragging a bit at first but after about 20 minutes couldn't wipe the smile off my face. If you just want to go out and cruise on some really nice well maintained trails and just have fun and not worry about the challenge, or lack thereof, I cannot imagine there is a better place than this.
Sweeeeet Rig!!!!!
No idea what it is, but that is beautiful.
