Great Summer
JULY/AUGUST 2024 5
Summers in Upstate New York are the best!
We encourage you to take advantage of it
– do more, see more and have more fun!
Organized events, destinations and recreation
of all kinds are abundantly available
so make your plans and get outside.
If you’re thinking about going longer, faster, or getting fitter or healthier, do
something about it now – move more and rest, it all counts. Register and train
for an event, trip or outing you have been longing to do. The running article with
local classics and training tips can help you get there, as will the three biking features
– and multisport race previews too. If you’ve never been on a particular hike
or waterway, this month’s issue features several doable day hikes and paddling
destinations – including Middle Saranac Lake, which has it all.
We hope you enjoy the magazine. It is full of inspiration and call-to-action
articles that will get you motivated, including a profile of paddler and boatbuilder
Joe Moore – you may even discover a few of his favorite outings. All this, plus our
calendar, race results, and Non-Medicated Life on the benefits of beans – some of
the healthiest foods that we can eat!
Please support our advertisers and let them know where you saw their ad! We’ll

Ironman Lake Placid
Celebrating 25 Years
LAKE PLACID – On Sunday, July 21, the legendary Ironman Lake Placid begins with
a 2.4-mile swim around the Mirror Lake, followed by a 112-mile bike that winds its
way through the High Peaks Region, and concludes with a 26.2-mile run through
the village, along the Ausable River and Mirror Lake, before finishing at the iconic
Olympic Oval.​ This year, the “Voice of Ironman” Mike Reilly will return for a special
occasion to call finishers across the line.
A robust field of age-group athletes will compete alongside pro triathletes who
will toe the start line on Sunday, July 21. The race will offer pros a maximum of 5,000
points towards the Ironman Pro Series standings, a $125,000 event pro prize purse,
and four qualifying slots for each gender to the 2024 Ironman World Championships
in Nice, France (women) or Kona, Hawai’i (men).
The Ironman Foundation is commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Athletic
Brewing Ironman Lake Placid triathlon by distributing $67,500 in charitable giveback
to local organizations in the region through grant funding and the distribution
of bicycles to community youths. This brings the historical charitable donation total
to over $2 million. Grant recipients for this year’s event include the Adirondack
Foundation, Ausable River Association, Lake Placid Whiteface Visitors Bureau,
Wilmington Parks and Recreation, and more. Visit: ironman.com.
Run for the Roses 5K
GRAFTON – Grafton Community Library is holding their annual fundraising 5K
event to benefit the library. The 38th annual Run for the Roses Race takes place
on Sunday, August 11. It consists of a USATF sanctioned 5K foot race at 9am and
a children’s one-mile fun run at 10am at Grafton Lakes State Park. The Run for the
Roses is the main fundraising event of the year and provides critical support for the
library’s programming and materials collection.
The 5K course follows the park entrance road, continues along NY Route 2,
around the town park, and back into the park on Long Pond Road. The first half of
the course is downhill, with uphill slopes on the second half. Water stations are near
the half point. The kids run begins in the main parking lot, proceeds through the
woods and along the beach. To foster the spirit of participation, ribbons and books
will be awarded to all runners and walkers. After the race, stay to enjoy the beautiful
park and beach. Visit: finishright.com.
Saratoga Rowers
Headed to Paris
Olympics
JULY/AUGUST 2024 7
SARATOGA SPRINGS – Kristi Wagner and
Lauren O’Connor are going to their second
and first Olympics, respectively. Kristi, 31,
and Lauren, 25, belong to the Advanced
Rowing Initiative of the Northeast (ARION),
KRISTI, ERIC AND LAUREN. SRA
a high-performance program that’s part of
the Saratoga Rowing Association. Kristi, from Weston, Mass., will compete in Paris
in the double sculls with partner Sophia Vitas. A native of Belleville, Wisc., Lauren
is rowing in the quadruple sculls with teammates Teal Cohen, Emily Delleman and
Grace Joyce. In sculling, the rower uses two oars and holds one in each hand.
All Olympic rowing races are 2,000 meters. They’ll be held from July 27 to August
3 at the Vaires-sur-Marne Nautical Stadium. Kristi and Vitas qualified for the Paris
Games through last year’s world championships and being selected at a camp this
year. Lauren and her quadruple sculls teammates qualified by winning the final
Olympic qualifying regatta in Lucerne, Switzerland in May. Lauren, a former track
athlete and volleyball player, didn’t row until she walked on to the University of
Wisconsin team as a freshman at the suggestion of a friend.
They’ll be joined in Paris by their coach, Eric Catalano, who started ARION in
2016. Kristi began training with the program that year. Lauren joined almost three
years ago at a teammate’s recommendation. They’re the first two Olympians to come
out of ARION, a program currently with 12 female rowers who train on Saratoga
Lake and Fish Creek. “It’s one of the reasons we started the program,” Eric said. “I
think it puts us on the map as one of the top high-performance rowing programs
in the country.” He feels “pretty optimistic” about their medal chances in Paris. The
Romanians are strong in the double sculls, while Great Britain could be the team to
beat in a tight quadruple sculls competition.
Kristi and Lauren both work part-time for the Saratoga Rowing Association to
supplement the stipend they get from US Rowing. Because of Olympic preparation,
they’ve rarely been in Saratoga Springs this year, instead training at team camps in
Georgia, Florida and at Princeton University. Visit: saratogarowing.com.
Summer Activities at

PADDLING & CAMPING
By Rich Macha
Of the three Saranac lakes – Lower,
Middle, and Upper – Middle
Saranac Lake offers the paddler
a quieter and more relaxed experience.
It also adds bonus excursions into Weller
and Little Weller ponds which are quite
likely to end up being the highlights of
the trip. Day-trippers will find much to
explore, and overnighters can savor the
beauty of dawn, dusk, and darkness from
a primitive campsite.
While motorboats are allowed on
these bodies of water, their use is minimal
since access is limited to a car-top boat
launch on South Creek or travel up the
Saranac River from Lower Saranac Lake
which includes passing through a lock.
There are 25 boat-access campsites on
Middle Saranac and Weller, including two
lean-tos on Middle and one lean-to on
Weller – all part of the state’s Saranac Lake
Islands Campground system which also
covers Lower Saranac Lake. Campsites
can be reserved with a fee through the
usual Reserve America channels. In 2024,
the fee/reservation season goes through
September 8th.
The South Creek access is located on
the south side of NY Route 3, about 10
miles west of the village of Saranac Lake.
It is a short but interesting paddle on the
creek north to the lake. Boggy sphagnum
shores are covered with pitcher plants,
sundews, leatherleaf, sheep laurel, and
bog rosemary.
Middle Saranac is over two miles in
length and about a mile wide. Lying in an
east-west direction, the lake can get quite
choppy, especially whenever the wind is
from the west or east – it is best to pick a
relatively calm day for your outing.
Continuing north on the lake, staying
to the left of Ship Island, I highly recommend
turning around to note what
things look like so that you can easily find
the mouth of the creek when you return
at the end of your paddle. The west end
of the lake has some private land with
camps and a channel leads to the Bartlett
Carry for those who are heading over to
Upper Saranac Lake. The rest of the area
is state land. To the east, you can make
out Whiteface and McKenzie mountains
in the distance.
Looking ahead, a little east of north,
Boot Bay Mountain is seen rising 1,000
feet above the water. After crossing the
width of the lake, paddlers can then enter
Hungry Bay and look in its northeast corner
for the channel to Weller Pond. Once
again, the shores are boggy. Just before
reaching Weller, you should notice a lesser
channel on the right that soon leads into
Little Weller Pond. Little Weller is roundish
in shape, and a small but delightfully
wild water body.
Weller Pond is much bigger and has an
attractive wild feeling to it. Tick and Tock
(maps incorrectly name it Tot) islands add
to the interest. In the northwest bay, you
can find a lean-to and a one-mile hiking
trail that leads to Saginaw Bay on Upper

Saranac Lake. The newish lean-to has a
pleasant thru-the-trees view of the pond.
For the adventurous folks who would
like to stretch their legs, as well as test
their orienteering skills, it is about a 1.5-
mile bushwhack to a rocky area on the
south side of Boot Bay Mountain that has
a magnificent view south looking across
Weller and Middle Saranac to the mountains
beyond.
Paddling back through Hungry
Bay, paddlers get a magnificent view of
Ampersand and Stony Creek mountains
with the Sewards, within the High Peaks
Wilderness, peeking out in the distance.

Island then pass more islands. The lake’s
outlet, the Saranac River, flows out of
marshy Bull Rush Bay and turns north
while meandering for about a mile to the
Upper Locks. Buoys are a reminder that
motorboats are allowed here although
they are restricted to a speed of 5 mph.
You can turn around here unless you
plan to paddle on to Lower Saranac Lake.
Going through the lock, or just watching it
in operation, can be entertaining.
On the way back to South Creek, you
will find a sandy beach in Middle’s southeast

PADDLING & CAMPING continued from 9
0.5-mile trail from Route 3 to hang out at this beach. You can then follow
the lake’s south shore past Shaw Island and back to the start.
For reference, the Adirondack Paddlers Map: The Saranac Lakes (2nd
edition, 2018) offers a detailed view of the Saranac Lake Chain, Fish Creek
Ponds area, and Raquette River to Tupper Lake. It shows private, state, and
wilderness lands, mountains, portages, trails and numbered campsites.
On Monday, September 18, 2023, a friend and I paddled out from the
South Creek access and generally followed the above-described route. We
observed loons on Middle and Weller, as well as two small motorboats
and a handful of canoes on Middle – we had Weller and Little Weller to
ourselves. We paddled 12 miles in 4.8 hours – your results may differ, but
I am sure it will be a pleasurable experience.

Mountain Club and has spent 20 years in the paddle/snowsport business.

Cool Rides and Races
It’s mid-summer so hopefully you’ve been getting out
there and building your mileage with occasional or
frequent rides on roads, paths or trails the last couple
of months. Now you can reap the fitness rewards on longer,
faster, or more challenging rides or even a few races
– no worries, newcomers are welcome. Whether you’re
a casual, fitness or competitive cyclist, whether you ride
solo or with others, summer blesses everyone on the
bike – and since you’re moving, it often provides a nice
breeze. Check out this amazing variety of events in our
region this August and September, then signup and enjoy
longer evenings and pleasant temperatures while riding
with family, friends, and acquaintances.
The Summer Mountain Bike Race Series in Cole’s
Woods was a welcome surprise. This Thursday evening
series takes place in Glens Falls on July 18 and 25, and
August 1 and 8. It’s a free event produced by Friends of
Cole’s Woods – in the winter, they also host a free ski/
snowshoe series. Registration starts at 5:15pm, kids race
is 6pm, and the full race is 6:15pm. It’s held on a 1.5M
course with novice (one lap), sport (two laps), and expert
(three laps). There will be a raffle for prizes. Visit: friendsofcoleswoods.org.

The Donut “100” is back! On Sunday, July 28, this is an
annual event is a quest for fried golden rings of dough, produced
by Grey Ghost Bicycles. It’s a ride for “fun,” there’s
no prize, no numbers, no timing, and it’s not easy. It will
push you to the limits, but that’s what you ride for, isn’t it?
The 126M route is long and climbs quite a bit, and with
paved and gravel roads there’s a little something for everyone.
The ride will leave from Common Roots Brewing in
South Glens Falls, head to Cambridge to the King’s Donut
Cart, then to Manchester, Vt. for a stop at Willoughby’s
Depot Eatery – and some tacos at The Avocado Pit. All
stops are not mandatory, and lunch and donuts are not
included. Luckily, they finish at Common Roots for some
post-ride refreshments! The route will not be marked, will
pass through some areas of little cell coverage, and there’s
no sag, so be familiar with the route as you’re responsible
for yourself. Limit of 30 riders. Visit: bikereg.com.
The Weekender at Paul Smith’s College, produced by
Bike Adirondacks, is on Friday-Sunday, August 2-4. This
is the ultimate event to attend with a group of friends or
family. Whether you stay in the dorms, tent or RV on campus,
or stay in local lodging, the Weekender is all about
relaxation and exploration, on and off your bike. The
lakeside campus is a perfect hub to explore the beautiful
Saranac Lake region by bicycle (including newly opened
sections of the Adirondack Rail Trail) with supported,
marked rides of 30-55M daily. And there’s more: arrival
BBQ, waterfront campfire, paddling on a pristine pond,
strolling a boardwalk along a nearby bog, a guided tour
of a historic Great Camp, and a live lakeside theater production
on Friday night. Groups of 10 or more are eligible
for a discount. Proceeds benefit Adirondack Land Trust.
Visit: bikeadk.com.
This Churney Gurney will again feature fun at Gurney
Lane Park in Queensbury on August 3-4. Saturday will

If you’d like to discover new routes near where you
live, I encourage you to join a group or club, such as
Mohawk Hudson Cycling Club, Saratoga Mountain Bike
Association, or others in our region. To mix it up, consider
trying something new like gravel/dirt riding, sleeping
under the stars, going on an adventure ride with family,
or joining (or creating) a weekend or longer bike tour.
Finally, consider helping a friend discover or rediscover
the joy of cycling.

The Adirondack Mountain
Club published Peaks
and Ponds: Adirondack Day
Hikes, by Bobby Clark and Cat
Hadlow, in April 2022. This
collection of 37 classic and
lesser-known day hikes celebrated
ADK’s 100-year anniversary
by featuring beautiful
remote spots throughout
the park with side trips and
snippets of history.
ADK has been working
to conserve resources, advocate for preservation
of wild places, and educate people on having safe,
low-impact outdoor experiences. They focus on sharing
information by publishing guidebooks and maps,
conducting research, and affiliating with other outdoor
organizations for the common goal of protecting the
Adirondack Park.
The 160-page book is written by two ADK staff members
and both are seasoned outdoor adventurers. It
includes GPS coordinates and QR codes for trailheads
and parking areas, round-trip distances, difficulty ratings,
maps and photos. Sections on wilderness safety and
ethics help hikers have safe low-impact outings. Peaks
and Ponds follows the smaller size, easy-to-read format
of ADK’s other samplers with key trip info at the beginning
of each description. The guidebook is available at local
retailers or online: adk.org. Here are two book excerpts.
Tirrell Pond
Key Trip Info – Round-trip: 6.6 miles (10.6K). Elevation
change: 617 feet (188m). Difficulty: Easy+ (due to easy to
moderate rolling terrain). Map: TI 744: S16. GPS coordinates:
43.874430, -74.431050 (parking area).
This Tirrell Pond trail passes through private property
in the Township 19 Easement Tract and the Blue Mountain
Wild Forest. The trail is on a conservation easement and
crosses a power line right-of-way that is posted with no
trespassing signs. Please be respectful of the landowners
and the easement by remaining on the trail.
Trailhead – The trail starts at the Blue Mountain and
Tirrell Pond trailhead, near the hamlet of Blue Mountain
Lake. Parking is on the east side of NY Routes 30/28,
1.4 mi north of Blue Mountain Lake – just north of the
Adirondack Experience museum. The trail register at the
edge of the parking lot is used for both trails. (If this trailhead
is too busy, Tirrell Pond can also be reached via the
Northville-Placid Trail trailhead, 3.9 miles south on Route
30/28).
Starting at the north corner (left side) of the parking
area, follow the yellow-marked trail past a steel gate
across an old jeep trail on the right. The route briefly parallels
the highway before bearing right into the woods.

For the first 0.5 mile, the grade is primarily flat, before
gradually gaining elevation. As the trail travels along a
shoulder of Blue Mountain, the summit is visible through
the trees on the right. This land is owned by a timber
company, and former lumbering activities are evident
in the newer growth of the forest. From here, the terrain
undulates along the mountainside, and several partially
grown-in logging roads – both former and current – crisscross
the trail. Logging equipment might be seen or heard
in the area.
At 1.6 miles, the trail crosses a dirt road (which is the
power line right-of-way), after which there are ski trail
markers as well as yellow hiking trail disks. Here the trail
widens and begins to descend slightly before leveling off.
Over the next 0.5 mile, the trail climbs moderately to the

col between Buck and Blue mountains. At 2.1 miles, the
trail passes through a mix of hardwoods and newer growth
and begins a 470-ft descent toward Tirrell Pond. At 2.5
miles, the descent steepens along an eroded, stone-laden
section of trail. A Forest Preserve sign at 2.6 miles signifies
entry into the Blue Mountain Wild Forest.
The trail follows the left bank of a brook, and at 3.0
miles arrives at the junction with the blue-marked
Northville-Placid Trail. Turn right and follow the NPT over
a narrow stream crossing. The well-trodden NPT narrows
as it winds toward a small clearing and the popular Tirrell
Pond Lean-To on the left at 3.3 miles. A brief walk down
an unmarked path ends at the sandy south shore of Tirrell
Pond. Looking to the left, the ledges of Tirrell Mountain

are visible above this large pond. Evidence of beaver activity
might be seen in newly chewed tree stumps near the
pond’s outlet. This is a popular summer destination for
NPT through-hikers and anglers, some of whom arrive
via float plane.
Trail in Winter – Suitable for all snowshoeing and
cross-country skiing experience levels, with full snow
coverage required on the trail for enjoyable skiing.
Nearby Side Quests – Blue Mountain, 4.0 miles (6.4 km)
round-trip, 1550 feet (473 m) elevation change. Upper and
Lower Sargent ponds, 6.2 miles (9.9 km) round-trip, minimal
elevation change. Adirondack Experience – Museum
on Blue Mountain Lake is a wonderful place to spend a
day learning about the cultural and natural history of the
Adirondacks.
Northville-Placid Trail Centennial – Construction of
the 138-mile Northville-Placid Trail, originally called the
Long Trail, began in 1922 as ADK’s inaugural major project
– and was completed in 1924. ADK’s first president,
George Pratt, an officer of Standard Oil, funded the project
to have the NPT cleared and marked by “two woodsmen,”
Edwin “Doc” Noyes and Howard Rowe. Merely stepping
foot on this iconic trail evokes a sense of utter wilderness
unmatched by other trails in the park. Even today, ADK
staff and volunteers continue to maintain the NPT and its
many lean-tos. For more info on NPT 100 years and hiking
the trail, visit: npt100.com.
Spruce Mountain
Key Trip Info – Round-trip: 3.1 miles (5K). Elevation
change: 1,003 feet (306 m). Summit elevation: 2,005 ft (611
m). Difficulty: Easy+ (due to consistent gradual to moderate
elevation change, but short distance). Map: TI 743:
D24. GPS coordinates: 43.202070, -3.895780 (parking area).
This Spruce Mountain trail to a fire tower summit
is in the Wilcox Lake Wild Forest, on the southeastern
edge of the Adirondack Park. It briefly crosses private
land and passes through a conservation easement held
by the non-profit conservation group, Saratoga PLAN
(Preserving Land and Nature): saratogaplan.org.
Trailhead – The trail starts from the Spruce Mountain
trailhead on Spruce Mountain Road, south of the Village
of Corinth. From NY Route 9N, head west onto Wells
Road. (This is a right turn if coming from Corinth, and a
left turn if coming from Saratoga Springs.) Go two miles
to a T intersection with Spruce Mountain Road. Turn right
and drive 0.2-mile to the gravel parking area (also a snowplow
turnaround) at the end of the road. Note: The trail is
closed during big game hunting season, from mid-October
to early December.
The yellow-marked trail immediately crosses a brook
and veers to the right. It parallels the brook up a steep
gravel section to a trail register at the top of a rise. Please
sign in. At 0.2-mile, notice a short segment of stone wall
serving as a private property line on the left. The trail bears
to the right slightly and enters a section built in 2015 by
ADK’s professional trail crew in conjunction with the
NYSDEC.
The trail passes through a break in the stone wall and is
a gentle grade through mixed woods with old growth and
an open understory. It begins to climb more steeply at 0.8-
mile, then at 1.0 mile, passes the Saratoga PLAN boundary

sign and begins to level out. It traverses several fern-filled
clearings, indicative of the area’s logging history. The trail
winds toward the summit past an old trail that is no longer
used, and at 1.3 mile, it passes a “Forest Preserve-Wild
Forest” sign attached to a tree to the left. At this point, the
fire tower base is glimpsed through the trees. The final
clearing is reached at 1.4 miles, with the fire tower looming
in the forefront. Because there are no views from the
summit, hikers will need to climb at least partway up the
73 foot tower – the tallest fire tower in the Adirondacks – to
enjoy sweeping 360-degree views. A nearby communications
tower is also visible from the fire tower cab.
Trail in Winter – Suitable for snowshoers of all skill
levels, and advanced skiers.
Nearby Side Quests – Prospect Mountain, 3.4 miles
(5.4K) round-trip, 1,600 feet (489m) elevation change.

Capital Region’s
Fall Distance Races
Second to None!
RUNNING
JULY/AUGUST 2024 21
By Megan James
When the temperature and
humidity drop, Upstate New
York becomes one of the best
places for running – and running fast. On
any given weekend, you can choose from
a slate of local races ranging from the mile
to the marathon or longer. Here is a preview
of six of the most popular mid-distance
fall races in the Capital Region, and
some tips on training through the summer
to prepare.
Let me start by saying each of these
races has a team of organizers who know
running and take great care of their participants.
They have a unique vibe, and the
post-race parties are outstanding! I have
run all these races, and Stockade-athon
holds a special place in my heart as an
annual favorite – and my PR from 2019! All
these races have some serious competitors
up front, but they are also very friendly to
beginners and mid/back-pack runners.
On Sunday, August 25, the 11th annual
Thacher Park Trail Running Festival
will be held at Thacher State Park near
Voorheesville. It’s produced by ARE Event
Productions and is held on a gorgeous
course for you to enjoy the park’s scenery
on a summer’s day by participating in the
10K, 13.1M, 26.2M or 50K.
All races start together, share the first
six miles, and finish at the same place. The
three longer races run along the escarpment
trail, while 10K runners had towards
the finish, and the longer races continue
on the south side of the park. See the website
for more course and race details. The
event is a festive atmosphere with awesome
post-race food. Visit: areep.com.
Run 4 the River Half Marathon on
Saturday, August 31 boasts a net-downhill
course along the Mohawk River on
a Mohawk-Hudson Bike-Hike section
of the Empire State Trail, from Mabee
Farm in Rotterdam Junction to Frog Alley
Brewing in Schenectady. It can be used
as a tune-up race or test of fitness and
race readiness for an upcoming fall marathon.
You do take a bit of a gamble with
residual late-summer weather here – but
with summer training under your belt,
you should still expect to run well with
the generous course and competition
for all levels. Given that this is a mostly
flat course, you’ll want to do some longer
training runs on flat routes like the
Empire State Trail, other rail trails, or on
safe roads. It can feel very fatiguing to run
flat for so many miles, and you don’t want
race day to be your first experience with
that. In the last mile of the Run 4 the River,
you come up a hill from the bike path, run
a few blocks on State Street, then down a
steep hill in the last 100 meters, and that’s
about the extent of the hills on this course.
The fifth annual race is directed by
Nark Running & Strength. The postrace
party takes place right at Frog Alley
Brewing, and includes a vast selection
of hot foods, beverages (alcoholic and
non-alcoholic), live music, and an exciting
atmosphere for collecting your finisher’s
medal and celebrating your race!
Visit: narkrunningstrength.com.
Mohawk Hudson River Marathon &
Half Marathon on Sunday, October 13
are also mostly flat but beautiful courses
generally following the Mohawk and
Hudson rivers. The marathon starts from
Niskayuna Community Center, and half
starts at Colonie Town Park, and both finish
at Jennings Landing at Corning Preserve in
Albany. For the full, there’s an uphill early
on, then it utilizes 18 miles of paved, flat
bikeways for a net downhill. There is a significant
downhill around mile 13 of the full
(mile 5 of the half) as you come off the bike
path into Watervliet, but other than that
it is flat. As with the previous race, you’ll
want to be sure to get some longer training
runs on a flat route so you’re ready for the
challenge of a long, flat race.
One of the unique things about the
Mohawk Hudson race is that many local
high school cross country and track teams
manage the water stops. The team I coach,
Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake, is at mile 8 of
the full marathon and we have a great
time every year – it is a fun way to give
back to the community that cheers us on
at so many other events – and we get to

their race! Jennings Landing is a wonderful
place for spectators and runners to
enjoy the post-race gathering, with a huge
spread of food, massages, music, and an
obstructed view of the Hudson! Visit:

On Sunday, October 27, the Hairy
Gorilla Half Marathon & Squirrelly Six
Mile at Thacher State Park is part running
race, part costume party, and is truly among
the most unique events you’ll ever do! Be
on the lookout for gorillas that have gone
bananas, nutty squirrels, graves with your
own names on them, and other inanity to
keep you smiling and enjoying the beautiful
views. Join AREEP for their 20th year of festive
running mayhem at a Halloween event
– you are highly encouraged to dress up.
Both the six mile and half marathon
are run simultaneously on the same
course. For the last 7.1 miles, the half
runs along the beautiful fence line of the
park, then heads uphill for nearly a mile,
and the rest of the race is mostly flat or
downhill. Post race, you’ll receive a sweet
finisher’s medal and impressive spread
of post-race food. There’s also a half mile
Gorilla Chase Kids Race with costumes
encouraged. Visit: areep.com.
Stockade-athon 15K is on Sunday,
November 11, and it’s my all-time favorite
race and gets first billing on my race
calendar every year! This course is quite
a bit different from the half and full marathons.
A competitive race up front, with
team and individual prizes plus a downhill
start make for a fast first mile – be
mindful of your pacing as it will feel easy,
but you could be running quite a bit faster
than you think! After running through
the unique Stockade neighborhood and
along the river briefly, you turn and head
back for a long gradual climb past Union
College and into the former GE Realty
plot, after which you’ll see some rolling
hills for the next few miles. The final climb
around mile 7 (exiting Central Park) can
be a doozy, but then it’s almost entirely
downhill and through historic Vale
Cemetery to the finish next to City Hall.
I would call Stockade-athon a “fair”
course as it is generally fast, but the hills
add an element of challenge that the fast
and flat races do not, so it’s a bit friendlier
to those who don’t have quite the leg
speed and turnover to handle a fully flat
course. If the weather’s nice, there’s a
friendly gathering of runners and spectators
near the finish, and the post-race party
is held indoors at the Schenectady YMCA
– perfect for a warm-up while you enjoy
some delicious local foods, including cider
donuts! Visit: stockadeathon.com.
On Sunday, November 24, join the
Upstate Classic in Altamont, offering
13.1M & 5K, as well as kids races. The fall
event is staged from Altamont Fairgrounds,
a few miles outside of Albany. The USATF
certified half marathon entreats you to a
gorgeous loop course at the base of the
Helderberg Escarpment around rural
Guilderland. The 5K is an out and back
course. Visit: areep.com.
Training Tips for Fall Races
Now is the time to start building up
your consistency and volume, if you haven’t
already, so you can reap the benefits
of aerobic training come fall. You can run a
decent mid-distance race on as little as 3-4
days or 20 miles a week, so don’t feel pressured
to run every day or tons of miles. I
always opt for consistency and health over
pure volume. If you work with a coach,
make sure he/she is willing to accommodate
your lifestyle and goals, rather than
just churn out mileage and intensity that
feel unsustainable to you. With training at
any level, be sure to build in down weeks –
a relative drop in volume every 3-5 weeks
– to allow your body to “catch up” with the
training, and minimize your risk of overuse
injury, especially bone injuries.
Incorporate these three types of runs
into your training on a weekly or biweekly
basis: long run, tempo run, and strides. I
generally recommend matching the total
time of your long run to the expected finish
time of your race, at a slower pace (at
least one-minute per mile slower), regardless
of distance covered. Tempo runs are
essential for developing your tolerance for
a little discomfort. The standard tempo
run is 20-22 minutes at an effort that you
could sustain in a one-hour race, which
tends to be roughly 30-40 seconds slower
per mile than your 5K race pace. Strides
can be tacked on at the end of a base or
long run and help to open your stride and
“feel fast” when you’re already tired. I recommend
4-6 times of 15-20 second nearsprints
with about 30 seconds of recovery.
Account for summer weather. I can
almost guarantee that your runs will be
slower on those hot and humid days –
that’s OK. With high humidity, our sweat
doesn’t evaporate from our skin, which
means our bodies are less efficient at
cooling, and the processes that help us
to run are generally slowed down. You
can expect to run a minute or slower per
mile on some days just because of the
weather. Some people claim that training
in humidity is akin to training at altitude,
based on the increased difficulty of
breathing – it will pay off come fall if you
can stick it out now! Basing your training
runs on effort rather than a specific pace
FEEL THE JOY OF RUNNING A
GREAT RACE AT THE MOHAWK
HUDSON RIVER HALF.
is extremely helpful in
the summer. A standard
base run and
long run should feel
easy, conversational
and comfortable,
rated 2-4 on a scale of
1-10 – with 10 being full-out max
effort, collapsing at the end. A sustained
moderately hard effort like a tempo run
should be in the 7-8 range.
Practice your race day! Assess your
hydration and fueling strategies a few
times before race day. Know what you
can eat the night before and morning of
the race that will give you energy without
causing GI distress. Practice taking in food
and fluids during a long or hard run so
you know what it feels like and be able to
take in nutrition within 30-45 minutes of
finishing so you can start recovering. It is
also smart to test out your race day outfit,
and have a couple tried-and-true options
available, based on what the weather
might be like on race day. Nail down a

ATHLETE
PROFILE
◀ JOE AND MAVERICK.
Joe Moore
A Life Defined
By Boats
By Chris Morris
Joe Moore has been playing with boats
for nearly six decades.
From Boy Scout outings in old
Grumman canoes and solo backcountry
trips in ultralight pack boats to marathon
canoe races and hunting, there’s not much
Joe hasn’t seen and done on the water.
Nearly 60 years after his first encounter
with the waters of the Adirondacks, Joe is
still as passionate about paddling as ever.
“When I was three years old, my parents
bought a place on Hoel Pond, which
is the sort of gateway to the St. Regis Canoe
Wilderness,” Joe says. “That’s when I fell in
love with paddling and the Adirondacks.”
Born in Endicott, Joe and his family
moved to Brewerton when he was five.
A few years later, his family moved to
Leesburg, Va., where he went to high
school. He went to Old Dominion
University for undergrad (Geography)
and Antioch University New England
for grad (Natural Resource Management
and Administration). By 1987, he was
back in the Adirondacks, where he put
down his roots.
AGE: 60
RESIDENCE: Lake Placid
OCCUPATION: Boatbuilder,
Owner of Placid Boatworks
SPORTS: Paddling, Cross-Country
Skiing, Biking, Hunting
Joe has competed in a variety of distance
and aerobic sports in his lifetime,
including cross-country skiing and cycling.
His bike racing resume includes a stint with
a US Masters team in Russia and Austria,
and as a Nordic skier he’s posted top results
in multiple US and Canadian loppet and
half loppet races. But Joe’s name is perhaps
most synonymous with paddlesports, both
as a racer and as a boatbuilder.
A fixture of paddlesports racing in New
York, Joe has solo paddled the Adirondack
Canoe Classic – more commonly known
as the 90-Miler – 15 times. For the uninitiated,
this race consists of three stages:
day one from Old Forge to Blue Mountain
Lake, day two from Long Lake to Tupper
Lake, and day three from the Fish Creek
Pond Campground to Saranac Lake. The
race takes paddlers through big lakes, narrow
brooks, meandering rivers, and miles
of difficult portage trails. The course itself
is hard, but weather can compound things
– wind gusts, rain, high and low temperatures.
It’s a grueling challenge, especially
for those who go it alone.
Through the years, Joe has posted
impressive results, including a top 10
time across all categories, which means
he bested paddlers in four-person canoes,
war canoes, Olympic-style kayaks, and
more. And in 2017, he set the mark for
best time in a solo pack canoe since the
category began.
“I have a lot of great memories from
paddling the 90-Miler,” Joe says. “Paddling
and working with other people during the
race is really rewarding, especially in the
solo divisions, where we socialize and
support each other in a cooperative way,
akin to bike racing in many ways. I’ve been
fortunate to have many great people come
out and help me with food and drink
during and after the race, shuttles from
finish lines to start lines, and just talking
to all the people making their way to the
same daily destination. I’ve made many
friendships and bonded with so many
people while paddling canoes.”
“I remember my first 90, going back
and forth with a tandem boat that was

evenly matched with me,” Joe adds. “The
mutual encouragement and support to
dig deep was amazing.”
As a stage race averaging 30 miles a
day, it’s crucial to have a strong support
system throughout the 90-Miler. Joe credits
his friends – Ed and Patty Troischt, Ed
and Linda Roesner, and Connie Perry – as
well as training partner and fellow racer
Morgan Hoven of Clifton Springs for his
success over the years.
Despite all his accolades as a racer, his
profession and trade may be his real legacy
in the world of paddlesports.
Go to any race or put-in in the Northeast
and you’re likely to see a Placid Boatworks
canoe; you can venture far and wide and
there’s a good chance you’ll spot one of
Joe’s designs, whether it’s the day-tripping
SpitFire, the longer and sleeker RapidFire,
or the Shadow – the boat of choice for many
racers. Just this past June, a brand new
race in Rangeley, Maine, featured nearly
a dozen of Joe’s canoes. And many of the
racing accolades Joe has collected over the

He has also been a generous supporter of
non-profit organizations with donations
of his boats for raffles.
As Joe and the paddling community
celebrate 20 years of Placid Boatworks,
he plans to continue innovating, whether
it’s building even lighter boats – under 20
pounds – or developing a new line of tandem
pack boats.
When Joe isn’t building boats – an
aerobic sport on its own, he notes – he
enjoys hunting and canoe camping in
the Adirondacks and out West.

years have been in boats of his own design.
Joe founded Placid Boatworks in
2004 alongside Charlie Wilson. In those
early days, the goal was to design and
build an innovative, ultra-high-quality
pack canoe. This craft can be traced
back to the late 1800s, when John Henry
Rushton of Canton designed a shorter,
lighter variation of the standard solo
canoe. Over the years, the pack boat
became the go-to choice for adventure
and backcountry paddlers – especially in
the Adirondacks, known for the diversity
of its water bodies and frequent portages.
It’s also a popular choice because the
design allows for the use of both singleand
double-bladed paddles.
Placid Boatworks revolutionized pack
boats with a modern design and rugged,
lightweight materials. Joe credits his
friend David Yost for helping him create a
kayak-like, asymmetrical hull fit for long
wilderness treks, shorter day trips, and,
of course, racing. The business began by
building and selling the classic 12-foot
SpitFire and continues to evolve to this
day, now offering six different models.
Joe became the sole proprietor of Placid
Boatworks in 2010. In 2013, a major fire
destroyed most of his factory, molds, and
numerous boats. The paddling community
rallied for Joe, helping to rebuild and ensure
that his boats were back in production by
the same spring – now sporting a phoenix
logo, representing his business’s literal and
figurative rise from the ashes. Joe now operates
out of a brand new facility built on the
same site as the original factory.
“When I moved to the Adirondacks,
I actually started making plans to build
a stitch-and-glue kayak,” Joe says. “I got
to the point of drawing out the patterns,
but just never executed it. Life got in the
way; I was busy. I still loved to canoe but
had that latent interest in building boats.
I worked for the Adirondack Council for
about 15 years, and once that kind of
ran its course, I ended up talking with
Charlie Wilson, and he and I started
the company.”

HIS SHOWROOM.

“I’m kind of lucky,” Joe says. “I get to
work in the candy store. People come in
here, they’re happy, they’re looking at
boats, they’re gonna buy a toy, they’re going
to enjoy it out in nature – for me, it’s helping
people get out there. The Adirondacks
are a beautiful place. When you get on the
water you see things from a whole different
perspective. I think that’s cool to be able to
help people experience that.”
Joe and his team – which includes
Royal McDonnell, an elite racer and the
son of Adirondack paddling royalty Brian
and Grace McDonnell (longtime 90-Miler
directors, canoe racers, and more) – will
never be a huge company, building
around 120-125 boats annually.
“We take great pride in building some
of the best boats on the water,” Joe says.
Some of his favorite outings are along
the Upper Chubb River just outside
Lake Placid, Preston Pond in the High
Peaks Wilderness, Henderson Lake near
the Upper Works in Newcomb, and the
Oswegatchie River to High Falls.
Chris Morris is a writer, marketing
consultant, and director of
communications for Northern Forest
Canoe Trail; he also works with other
nonprofits in northern NY. The son of
Don Morris, coauthor of the famed
paddling guidebook “Adirondack Canoe
Waters: North Flow,” Chris is an avid
paddler. He lives in New Orleans, La.,
and Saranac Lake, with his wife, Kaet,
and dogs, Murky and Zee.

MOUNTAIN BIKING
Wheelerville
By Josh Clevenstine
Trails
JULY/AUGUST 2024 39
The 2024-25 edition of Ride On! magazine,
a mountain bike trail guide to
the southern Adirondacks, published
in June. Here’s a revised and expanded
excerpt from it on Wheelerville Trails for
your reading and riding enjoyment.
The town of Caroga-owned Wheelerville
Trails opened four years ago in Fulton
County. It quickly went from the new kid
on the block out by Gloversville, to a legit
must-ride location that has now hosted two
summer mountain bike festivals, enduro
races, and winter riding, and lets riders
scratch the gravity itch without shelling
out the money for a lift ticket or waiting in
long lines. Wheelerville has carved out a solid place for
itself among the must-ride trail networks, not only in the
Adirondacks, not only in New York, but in the Northeast.
Eli Glesmann and Justin Vesp were the two
lead builders during phase one of construction at
Wheelerville. Affiliated with the Adirondack Foothills
Trails Alliance, they were selected by Caroga’s town-employed
Wheelerville Trails grantee and trail manager,
Jeremy Manning, after he rode the flow trails the two
built at Old Forge’s McCauley Mountain and fell in love
with their work.
Wheelerville features a very quick, direct, and
approachable climb trail, Saddle Up. I’ve seen plenty of
climb trails that are simply long and boring doubletrack
ascents that put me to sleep and don’t make me want
to come back for more. Usually, these climbs have me
wondering why I haven’t renewed my season pass to a
lift-serviced bike park. Wheelerville on the other hand has
a climb trail that is engaging. There are rock features to
scramble over or jump off, there are skinnies to mess with,
and there are turns that are deliberately made to keep a
rider sharp and engaged. In short, the climb up is a challenge
and part of the ride.
A little over halfway up the climb riders are greeted
with a midway terminus that has Adirondack chairs and
two short loops. Double Barrel is a short but sweet jump
trail featuring a massive wall ride, a wood drop, an optional
double, three large tabletops, and a cross between a
rock drop and a jump. Eagle Eye is a fast flowing intermediate
friendly run that keeps you moving. Where these
runs really come in handy is if you have a group of riders
with various levels of conditioning. Some riders may favor
a brief break in the Adirondack chairs while their friends
do a lap on a short trail.

JULY/AUGUST 2024 41
MOUNTAIN BIKING continued from 39
Pedaling the rest of the way up the mountain (not far),
riders find more chairs and the rest of the trails. Not all
the trails go all the way down the mountain, in fact, most
don’t. The two that do go all the way down are Forever
Wild and Live Free and Fly. Forever Wild is a berm and
jump-filled fast-flowing machine-graded trail that has
a few drops and many optional hits. It’s truly a trail that
intermediates and experts both enjoy. Live Free and Fly
is a rugged mix of loam, roots, drops, jumps, step downs
and rock gardens. With each passing year this trail shows
its teeth more and I wouldn’t have it any other way. The
Ambush trail goes down the mountain about halfway, and
is very rugged, featuring many downhill rock spines that
riders can jump or roll off. It ends near the beginning of
North Country, a longer climbing trail that’s more of an
engaging technical uphill climb. North Country runs all
the way to the top and can be ridden downhill as well. It’s
worth a trip in both directions if you have the time.
Deer Thirty is a loamy high-speed downhill run that
mimics its bigger brother, Live Free and Fly, but without
the drops and jumps, and it runs halfway down the mountain.
Upper Eagle Eye is an extension of the same blue flow
trail a rider can pick up from the midway terminus. Lastly,
is Infectious Nature – this trail is special as it is a celebration
of the legacy and life of a local rider who passed away
too soon, Mike Morreale. He lived life to the fullest and
brought out the same from those around him. As such, it
is a true double diamond and a trail not to be taken lightly!
Truly, the hardest part of Wheelerville is deciding which
trail to ride next.
Wheelerville has grown steadily in both its popularity
and its physical size. It now has two parking lots, one of
which features a jump park with hits ranging from tiny
dirt mounds to wooden ramp gap jumps that quench the
thirst of the boldest park enthusiasts. The growth isn’t
even close to being done. Caroga Lake’s goal in building
Wheelerville was to stimulate healthy outdoor recreation
and quality of life for its residents and to draw recreational
tourism. Both goals have been met so well that
the plan is to expand the network 1.5 miles south to the
hamlet of Caroga Lake. Then, linking it to Peck Hill State
Forest’s bike trail network, about nine miles farther south
the hamlet of Meco, near Stump City Brewing and city of
Gloversville. Caroga received a grant of $99,000 from DEC
in May 2024 to expand existing trails and create five new
trails, particularly for beginner and intermediate riders.
Trail work is expected to begin in August and last at least
two years.
Join the third annual Wheelerville MTB Festival on
August 24-25 for a wild weekend of two-wheeled fun in
the southern Adirondacks. It will feature a return of the
Maxxis Live Free and Fly Downhill Race (single crown
course) and new Enduro Race on August 25, plus Jump
Jam, Height and Wheelie competitions, guided rides,
skills clinics, food, drinks, music, and outdoor gear raffle.
It will highlight new trails, a new skills area for kids,
improved jumps, and a nice mix of local and national
brands. The Pine Lake Lodge will be hosting this year’s
after party on August 24 and feature food trucks, Common
Roots Brewing and Albany-based band Mirk. The Enduro
Race Series finale is on October 6.
I’m very grateful this great network exists. When asked

Schroon River
Whitewater
Kayaking
By Bob Frank
In July of last year, from a beginner’s
perspective, I wrote an article for
Adirondack Sports about the whitewater
kayaking opportunities in and
around the Capital Region. I also touched
on some of the best rivers and creeks
in the area to help promote this amazing
sport. This is a follow-up article that
highlights the Schroon River, which has
become one of my favorites.
The Schroon is a tributary of its big
brother, the Hudson River. It’s located
in the southeastern Adirondacks and
begins near the town of Underwood at
the confluence of Crowfoot and New
Pond brooks. As it runs through the towns
of North Hudson, Schroon, Chester and
Bolton, it stretches for nearly 70 miles
before it ends in Warrensburg – as it flows
into the Hudson. Most of the Schroon
is flat or slow-moving Class 1 water. But
the 6.5-mile section below the dam in
Starbuckville (just north of exit 25 of the
Northway), to the takeout at Riverbank
(just north of exit 24), with the right water
levels, can offer some lively Class I-III+
rapids. The river below the dam, although
hydraulically constrained, does not
generally offer releases but water levels
usually remain high enough to run until
Memorial Day and after significant rain
events. This was the case last year when
we ran it 12 or more times well into July at
levels between 3-6 feet, which was fantastic.
For this article, I’m detailing the lower
3.5-mile section of this stretch of the river,
which usually takes about
two hours to run.
● Launch site – We
always meet at the takeout
site first to situate and consolidate
gear and vehicles
at takeout, then drive to the
put in. If the water level is
high, we can also scout the
river. Access to the takeout
site is via I-87 to Exit 24.
To reach the takeout via
I-87, take Exit 24 to Bolton
Landing-Riverbank Road (CR 11). After
a quarter mile, cross the Schroon River,
then make a left on East Schroon River
Road. The road turns to dirt and the takeout
is a half mile on the left at the Warren
County Canoe & Kayak Access site.
From the takeout, return to Bolton
Landing-Riverbank Road (CR 11), turn
right, and take another quick right onto
Schroon River Road (CR 10). Travel about
3.5 miles north and on the right, you’ll find
dirt parking along the river suitable for a
half dozen cars, and the launch site. North
of this launch site, there are two alternate
launches that extend the trip by 1-2 miles:
one by the CR 31 bridge and the other just
before the Starbuckville Dam, both on
river right as you’re paddling south.
River description – From the road
as you enter the river the water is deep,
eerily dark, but also gorgeous. The flow
that’s coming from the north is slow moving
at medium levels of about 3-4 feet.
CHESTERTOWN
➢
This first section is a wonderful place to
warm up and stretch out the limbs. You
can also easily practice paddle strokes
and execute a few rolls if you choose. Get
a good warmup in, because the first rapid
is only 0.25 miles down the river. This first
drop is a Class II and runs fully across the
river. This rapid is another suitable place
to practice your skills by “eddying out” on
river right or left following the drop, be
mindful of the overhanging trees and the
rocks on river right just above, however.
(Eddy out means to leave the main current
of a river and enter an eddy, which is a
small circular current of water that moves
in the opposite direction of the main current,
creating a whirlpool. They are often
caused by rocks or other structures that
change the direction of the current.)
This first drop can also be surfed safely
as there is a large pool below should you
take a swim. At higher levels such as 5-6
feet the water swells high up the banks

and is immensely powerful and this section
is best run down the middle or slightly
right of center to avoid over hanging or
submerged trees. Eddying on the river
right is the safest option. Below the drop
on river left, there is a strong back current
that flows upstream into the eddy.
Starting from the river right, it’s a fun spot
to practice S-turns by peeling out into the
current, and then eddying out into the
back current on the other side. This section
can easily be scouted from the road
on the river right.
After this section, the river is mostly
flat with some slow-moving Class 1 rapids
for a short stretch, and then at about
one-mile-in you’ll enter a 0.5-mile Class II
rapid or wave train that runs parallel to the
road called “On and On” or “Racecourse.”
This section is a blast and again at different
water levels can offer a wild ride.
Many rivers and creeks have rock gardens
that must be navigated. The Schroon,
however, is mostly a series of standing
waves, drops and longer rapids that once
you enter you are committed until the end,
this is especially true at higher waters. This
stretch is exactly like that. Following this

section, the river meanders with some
flat water and additional Class I-II rapids
interspersed that are a lot of fun. Roughly
three-quarters of the way through the run
there is a small confluence and a sharp
right-hand bend in the river followed by
a small sandy beach on river left that is
a great place to stretch your legs and/or
grab some nutrition if needed. It’s also
a great practice spot for “ferrying, stern
squirts and rolling.”
The last significant feature of the
Schoon is called “The Flume” or “The Big
Drop.” At moderate 3-4-foot levels it’s considered
a Class III rapid. I have run this at
super low levels when it was a mere trickle
and at 5-6-foot levels when it’s an unnerving
beast. This one you must respect, as it
can cause some carnage and lead to a long
swim if you’re not careful. It’s also challenging
because it’s difficult to see as you
approach from above the rapid. You cannot
scout this rapid from the road either
but fortunately about 40 yards above the
drop you can eddy out on river left at higher
levels and safely walk down the forested
shore to the drop to scout it. At moderate
levels you can also eddy out just above the
drop on the river left to get an unobstructed
view of it as well. You can also portage
this drop along the rocky area on the river
left. This drop, which is typically Class III
can be run down the middle tongue, or a
more technical sneak route on river right.
There is a deep hole on the river left
that is generally avoided by all but the most
skilled paddlers. Below the drop there are
some surfing and eddying options on both
sides. After the drop, you need to avoid the
rocks on the river right and then get ready
for a sharp left-hand turn and then righthand
turn, which finishes out the rapid.
After this you have about another 0.5-mile
of Class I-II water to finish. In addition to
pristine water and the beautiful, forested
surroundings, this section offers spectacular
wildlife. You can expect to see bald
eagles, osprey, wood ducks, common and
hooded mergansers, deer, and an occasional
rising trout when the hatch is right.
● Takeout site – From the river,
the take-out is on the river left on East
Schroon River Road.
River levels and paddling safety –
River conditions, including both ambient
and water temperatures, can vary significantly
throughout the year and paddlers
need to be mindful. The Schroon especially
can have wild fluctuations as noted. It
can have significant standing waves in the
spring when the river overflows its banks
and slow-moving riffles into mid-summer.
At medium 3-4 foot levels on the
USGS Riverbank gauge it’s considered
a Class I-III river. I have run the river at
levels ranging from 2.5 to 6.1 feet, making
each trip a new and unique experience.
In addition to changing conditions, it
is also worth referencing the river classification
system as an added precaution.
PHOTOS BY
BOB FRANK
Class I – Moving water with a few riffles,
small waves, with few or no obstructions.
Class II – Easy rapids with smaller waves,
clear channels that are obvious without
scouting, and some maneuvering might
be required. Class III – Rapids with high,
irregular waves, with narrow passages
that often require precise maneuvering.
Class IV – Long, difficult rapids with constricted
passages that often require complex
maneuvering in turbulent water;
the course may be hard to determine,
and scouting is often necessary. Class V
– Extremely difficult, long, and very violent
rapids with highly congested routes
that should be scouted from shore; rescue
conditions are difficult, and there’ s a significant
hazard to life in the event of a mishap.
Class VI – The difficulties of Class V
carried to the extreme; nearly impossible
and very dangerous; for teams of experts
only and involves risk of life (not commercially
raft-able).
In addition to respecting these classifications,
paddlers should always: avoid
paddling alone, wear proper clothing
including a personal flotation device
(PFD), not overestimate their skill level,
and be mindful of weather and changing
conditions. It should be noted that unfortunately
there have been fatalities on this
section of the river, so all paddlers irre-
spective of skill level, need to be mindful
and take appropriate safety precautions.
Entering the sport, join a club – If
you’re local and interested in whitewater
paddling, want to improve your paddling
skills, or simply want to enjoy the
outdoors with some incredible people,
you may want to consider connecting
with the Schenectady Whitewater Club,
which is part of the Schenectady Chapter
of Adirondack Mountain Club. Joining a
club is also one of the safest and most fun
ways to enter the sport.
My friend Ed Martuscello and his wife
Pam, from Amsterdam, are amongst my
favorite, most supportive and enthusiastic
fellow paddlers. Pam captured it well
when she said “I love all the rivers that we
paddle, and each river is different every
time, it never gets boring. But there is also
the adrenaline rush, the opportunity to
challenge yourself and to improve or help
someone else do the same.” Within a short
drive we are fortunate to have some wonderful
whitewater paddling resources. So
come join us and try it, you will not regret
it. I hope to see you out on the river!

All Paths Lead to Fort Edward
By Kyle Cozzens
Fort Edward is a growing “Trail Town” destination.
Over the last few years, Fort Edward’s recreation,
parks, and tourism advocacy group has worked
hard to position the community as a recreation hub destination.
Earlier this year, the Town of Fort Edward was
selected as one of Parks & Trails New York’s 2024 Empire
State Trail Towns through a program that “recognizes and
supports New York’s exceptional trailside communities.”
Although the program’s focus is towns along the Empire
State Trail, Fort Edward is uniquely situated on several
multiuse land and water trails.
Promote Fort Edward’s motto, All Paths Lead to Fort
Edward, alludes to the fact that visitors can come by bike,
boat, train, bus, and automobile, but once there, they will
find many great recreation opportunities on “paths” leading
from Fort Edward as well.
Evergreen Bicycle Works, Fort Edward’s local bicycle
shop, recommends three different day touring
routes leaving from the Canal Street Marketplace. If you
don’t have your own bike, daily rentals are available:
evergreenbicycleworks.com.
Fort Edward to Fort Ann (Empire State Trail/
Champlain Canalway Trail) – This route is great for
beginner day tourers and for riders that prefer to stay
off the roads. After a short ride on neighborhood streets,
riders will find themselves on a crushed stone path as
they travel adjacent to the Old Champlain Canal for two
miles. The trail continues along 2.5 miles of low traffic dirt
roads before returning briefly to crushed stone and then
paved trail as it follows the modern Champlain Canal for
the remaining 6.3 miles to Fort Ann. This route is almost
completely flat and just under 12.5 miles one way. Expect
to see plenty of wildlife including turtles, herons, beavers,
and bald eagles. Ride with GPS with detailed map, cue
sheet, and file: ridewithgps.com/routes/47374873.
Fort Edward to Lake George (Feeder Canal Towpath
Trail/Warren County Bikeway) – This route is great for
more ambitious day tourers that still prefer to stay off the
roads. This one starts along the Champlain Canalway
Trail but deviates about 2.3 miles in as riders turn onto
the Feeder Canal Towpath Trail. As the name suggests,
this towpath trail follows the Feeder Canal for 4.2 miles
where it terminates in Glens Falls. After less than a halfmile
back on the road, riders can pick up the Warren
County Bikeway which continues for 10 miles to Lake
George Village. The Feeder Canal Towpath Trail is mostly
flat and crushed stone from end to end. The Warren
County Bikeway is entirely paved with a 1.5 mile stretch of
low traffic road riding with shoulders. There are some hills
and downhills on the way to Lake George. Following this
route, it’s 17 miles from Fort Edward to Lake George. Ride
with GPS: ridewithgps.com/routes/47374837.
If you need a bike shop in Glens Falls, visit our friends
at Grey Ghost Bicycles: greyghostbicycles.com. Or, in

the Feeder and Warren trails – visit Rock Hill Bakehouse &
Café in Glens Falls for real food, and Adirondack Brewery
in Lake George has been rewarding outdoor enthusiasts
for 25 years with their pub, tasty food and great beer:
adkbrewery.com.
Fort Edward to Schuylerville (Empire State Trail/
Champlain Canalway Trail) – This route is great for
those with some confidence when it comes to road riding.
Following the Empire State Trail south out of Fort Edward,
riders will travel within sight of the scenic Hudson River
on NY Route 4 for 10.2 miles. This section of Route 4 has
a very wide shoulder and leaves plenty of space for riders
to travel safely. After crossing the Champlain Canal, the
route then continues along a combination of quiet paved
and dirt roads for approximately four miles. Most of this
stretch runs right along the river and is great for a casual
evening ride as the sun gets low and the warm evening
light shines over the river and through leaves on the trees
lining the riverbank.
After a brief 1.4 miles on low traffic back roads, riders
cross the pedestrian-only Dix Bridge into Schuylerville’s
Hudson Crossing Park. The historic bridge was construct-

ed in 1895 and restored in 2013. After leaving Hudson
Crossing Park, riders are treated to a one mile stretch along
the Old Champlain Canal towpath trail, which terminates
at the Champlain Canal Region Gateway Visitor Center at
Fort Hardy Park. This route is approximately 17 miles one
way, and it’s a mix of paved and dirt roads and crushed
stone bike path (road bike friendly). There are only a few
minor hills. If you need a bike shop in Schuylerville, visit

NON-MEDICATED LIFE
Benefits of Beans
By Paul E. Lemanski, MD, MS, FACP
Medicines are a mainstay of
American life and the healthcare
system not only because they are
perceived to work by the individuals
taking them, but also because their
benefit may be shown by the objective
assessment of scientific study.
Clinical research trials have shown
that some of the medicines of Western
science may reduce the risk of type 2
diabetes, heart attacks, strokes and
cardiovascular death, as well as certain
cancers.
In the first 115 installments of the
Non-Medicated Life, certain dietary
practices and a healthy lifestyle have
been shown to accomplish naturally
for most individuals many of the benefits
of medications in the prevention
and treatment of chronic medical conditions.
This is especially true for the
consumption of all legumes, including
beans, chickpeas, split peas, and lentils.
Indeed, beans can be shown to not
only be profoundly good for your heart
(and vascular system), but also for cancer
prevention and lifespan as well.
What makes beans so health promoting?
Let’s start with the composition.
Beans contain proteins, carbohydrates,
fiber, tiny amounts of fat, as well
as iron, zinc, folate and potassium. The
amino acid composition of the proteins
in beans differs from bean to bean.
Soybeans, for example, have a near
perfect amino acid balance and are
considered a complete protein for the
human body’s growth, maintenance
and repair. Other beans have less of
certain amino acids and thus may
require combination with the amino
acids in whole grains to achieve perfect
protein amino acid composition.
Low levels of certain amino acids,
however, are not necessarily detrimental
to health. Beans have a lower
methionine (a type of amino acid)
content as compared to animal protein
and this correlates with a longer
lifespan in multiple species, including
Editor’s Note: This is the 116th in a
series on optimal diet and lifestyle to help
prevent and treat disease. Any planned
change in diet, exercise or treatment
should be discussed with and approved
by your personal physician before
implementation. The help of a registered
dietitian in the implementation of dietary
changes is strongly recommended.
humans. This may be a result of methionine’s
pro-oxidant effect. For example,
minimizing methionine reduces markers
of inflammation in mice, improves stress
resistance, and reduces mitochondrial
(mitochondria are the power generating
structures in all cells) free radical formation
and oxidation induced damage to
mitochondrial DNA. Indeed, such oxidative
damage to mitochondrial DNA is
thought to be a major cause for the process
of aging.
The carbohydrates and fiber (fiber is a
type of non-metabolizable carbohydrate)
in beans promote health in multiple ways.
Fiber slows the absorption of carbohydrates
resulting in a reduction in the rate
of rise of blood glucose with a resultant
reduction in insulin secretion. Repeated
abrupt secretion of insulin from the pancreas
as well as increased overall production
of insulin because it works less well
in lowering blood glucose (insulin resistance)
contributes to the development of
type 2 diabetes. Moreover, the prebiotic
fiber found in lentils and chickpeas feeds
the bacteria in your gut (microbiome);
these bacteria in turn secrete substances
back into the blood stream that slows
gastric emptying and slows the rate carbohydrates
are absorbed at a subsequent
meal – the so called “second meal effect.”
Beans (as well as whole grains) have
carbohydrates and fiber in the proper
ratio for human health. Eating diets high
in carbohydrates and low in fiber (the
usual composition of refined food products)
is NOT the unrefined diet our ancestors
ate. Over many thousands of years
humans became biochemically adapted
to whole foods containing the
ratio of carbohydrates to fiber such
as found in beans. We have inherited that
biochemistry, and therefore our bodies
function optimally only when given the
fuel they were “designed” to use. Indeed,
the consumption of beans, nutrient rich
and low in calories, has been associated
with lower body weights, lower blood
pressure, improved blood sugar and insulin
levels, and may help reduce the risk for
conditions as diverse as stroke, depression
and colon cancer.
Beans are naturally low in fat and contain
NO cholesterol and consuming them
may help lower the LDL or the “bad”
cholesterol. Lowering cholesterol naturally
will lower the risk for heart attacks
and strokes. Moreover, soybeans contain
isoflavones, plant-based, naturally occurring
estrogen-like molecules that appear
to lower the risk for both breast cancer
and prostate cancer. In the case of breast
cancer isoflavones appear to fit into the
estrogen receptor on breast cells, effectively
blocking the receptor from accepting
an actual estrogen molecule. Breast
cancer is most associated with long term,
more continuous than not, estrogen stimulation.
Risk for breast cancer is highest
in women with an early menarche and
late menopause and fewer pregnancies
to interrupt estrogen’s stimulatory effect.
It is felt that the lower rates of breast cancer
seen in Asian countries that consume
more soy may be due to this special property
of soybeans.
If beans are so healthy, then why do
most Americans consume so little? A
major reason is that beans produce flatulence.
This is because some of the fiber in
beans is metabolized by the microbiome
producing gas. A few practices, however,
can minimize this apparent drawback.
Lentils, split peas and canned beans produce
less gas. Soaking beans overnight
before cooking may also reduce gas for-
mation. Finally, slowly increasing the
number of beans consumed will minimize
flatulence. Start with a teaspoon
of lentils on your salad and increase by
a teaspoon per week. After 4-5 weeks
the lentils should be tolerated without
excessive gas formation. Products such
as Beano – that contain an enzyme that
will break down the gas producing fiber
before the microbiome metabolizes it –
may also be helpful in the short run.
In summary, beans are some of the
healthiest foods that humans can eat.
They are high in protein (and low in
methionine), low in calories and low
in fat. They are an inexpensive source
of protein compared to animal derived
protein. They are nutrient dense with
zinc, folate, potassium, and fiber.
Beans are associated with lower rates of
obesity, high blood pressure, elevated
blood sugar, type 2 diabetes, elevated
cholesterol, heart disease, and stroke.
They are also associated with lower
risk of cancers including the breast,
and prostate, and have been one of
the most important
predictors of survival
to old age. As
such, the consumption
of beans is a
useful lifestyle tool
in those considering
a non-medicated
life.
