OVER EASY!
If you haven't heard of it, the Over Easy is a mountain bike route dreamt up by locals Shane and Keegan Kramer. It's a sort of DIY style challenge that can be attempted any day of the year, BUT if you happen to do it on the Saturday closest to the solstice, there's a party at the finish line. The route, a patchwork of dirt roads, the most technical singletrack in the region and a few sections of welcomed smooth pavement, starts in Lake Placid and ends at Otis Mountain in Elizabethtown covering around 92 miles and gaining over 12,000 feet of elevation. Riders this year endured some classic Adirondack conditions of howling wind, 40 degree temps and rain.
Proceeds from t-shirt sales were donated back to BETA, and we are so grateful for the gift and for the opportunity to gather around a warm fire after a long, cold ride. Thank you to all who helped to organize this event that celebrates connecting communities via two wheels. Thank you to all of the riders and their support crews. And thank you to those of you reading this: your support helps us to continue to work on making our corner of the world a little bit better.
