Thank you for your interest in the Saratoga 400 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 out classic Adirondack Loop course.  This course is basically a grand tour of the Adirondacks.  Starting in Schuylerville, we will travel to Lake George, Warrensburg, Indian Lake, Blue Mountain Lake, Long Lake, Tupper Lake, Saranac Lake, Lake Placid, North Hudson, Schroon Lake and Warrensburg, before heading back to Schuylerville, through Lake George.

This ride will be the ultimate test of one's endurance and fortitude.  The route is a relentless series of short rolling hills, long climbs and thrilling descents.  The scenery is unmatched and we will be riding along water for a great deal of the ride.  Expect continual climbing and hills varying from short rollers to 2-4 mile climbs, in particular the hills out of Lake George, Blue Mountain Lake, Long Lake and Keene Valley, and into Indian Lake.
