n Give your feet a
chance to recover
after a race or practice with
OOFOS ® footwear, engineered to help
your feet recover in ways typical footwear
can’t. They absorb more shock,
have great arch support, enable a
more natural motion, and reduce
stress on feet, knees and back. Not
only will you want to slip into them
after a pounding workout, they’ll be
the first thing you grab after a long
day on your feet.

New Release:
Northvile-Placid
Trail Guide
The Adirondack Mountain
Club (ADK) has recently
released the fifth edition of its
Adirondack Mountain Club
Northville-Placid Trail in time
for the Nothville-Placid Trail’s
(NPT) 95th Anniversary.
Edited by Jeff and Donna
Case of Mattydale, NY, the
volume has been extensively
revised and redesigned.
The text includes a detailed
description of the reroute
of the NPT’s southern
approach, which leads
hikers from the south through
forest and around a lake,
avoiding the approx. 10 miles
of punishing road walking on
the previous route.
The NPT passes through
what many consider the
wildest and most remote
parts of the Adirondack Park.
The guide is available at
outdoor supply stores, both
ADK stores in Lake George
and Lake Placid, online and
through mail order.
For info: 800-395-8080 or

n Improve your visibility and
peace of mind while cycling.
The world’s first cycling radar,
Varia Rearview Radar from Gamin helps create a safer
cycling environment by warning cyclists of vehicles
approaching from behind up to 153 yards. The radar tail
light also warns approaching vehicles of a cyclist ahead.
It can show multiple approaching vehicles and indicates
the relative speed of approach and threat level.
Flashback:

Nowadays we have every type of sports innovation,
equipment and clothing available, but back in the day,
things were a little different.
Join us for this three-part retrospective where we
revisit the way it used to be for a young athlete and recount
the evolution of two popular sports.
