Bikeatoga will once again be hosting overnight bicycle trips! Bicycle touring and bikepacking are wonderful ways to experience the region, the country and the world. Saratoga Springs is nestled between many lovely, bikeable destinations, and these short rides are a great, safe introduction to traveling overnight by bicycle. 

The trips will occur on the second Saturday each month (June 11-12, July 9-10, August 13-14, September 10-11). The rides are self supported, meaning all attendees will be expected to carry their own equipment. Rides will start around 25-30 miles/day, and gradually lengthen to around 45 miles/day by the end of the summer.

With warm weather, bicycle touring season is fully underway. Bikeatoga will be hosting another overnight bicycle trip on Saturday, June 11! After getting rained out in May, we will once again plan to venture out towards Bear Slide near Lake Luzerne, or perhaps even Viele Pond, if attendees are particularly ambitious. We will plan to meet at the merry go round in Congress Park at 3 PM on Saturday, June 11, and expect to return before noon on Sunday, June 12, after riding roughly 25 miles each way. With wetter weather, fire restrictions will be loosened, and we can expect a cozy campfire near the banks of the Hudson. For more information on past or future trips, feel free to join our discord server, or ask any questions by email, membership@bikeatoga.org 

Bikeatoga will also be assembling a gear library. If you have extra camping gear in decent condition, feel free to donate it at the Bikeatoga workshop. If you would like to attend an overnight ride, but don’t feel like you have the required equipment, contact us at info@bikeatoga.org, and we should be able to lend you the equipment you need.
