Thank you for your interest in the Saratoga 600 KM Brevet. This ride is part of the SARATOGA BREVET SERIES and is sanctioned by AUDAX CLUB PARISIEN and RANDONNEURS USA, whose RULES & REGULATIONS we'll follow, as well as OUR OWN RULES. Please read these notes carefully and if you have any questions, feel free to CONTACT US.

We will be using an out and back to the Plattsburg/Lake Champlain/North Country area. Please note that overnight accommodations are not included in the entry fee nor offered in any capacity. Riders must make their own arraignments and are free to stay anywhere on the route, but the Super 8 in Plattsburg at miles 131/246 is the recommend location.

This route is typical Adirondack goodness, with rolling hills, a couple of long climbs and unmatched scenery. The west bound section from Rouses Point is probably the toughest, where riders will gain about 1,200 feet over 25 miles in what will feel like a very long slog. However, you will be rewarded on the way back with the east bound ride mostly down hill.

Please note there will be about 6-8 miles of unpaved surfaces on the way back on the Feeder Canal Trail and the Champlain Canal Trail just before the finish. These sections are rideable with any bike and tire size, but there may be a few ruts and pot holes here and there, so please use caution.
