Trail Conditions
For a good time, I called 1-800-TUP-PER!
My mantra is “hit it when you get it because tomorrow ain’t promised.” Opportunity knocked on my door again Wednesday. The day started -1*F at the ilsnow storm center in Indian Lake. At the time I embarked on my ride at 9:45am in Tupper Lake, the temperature was a balmy 30*F on its way to […]
Indian Lake to Newcomb (and other intel)

Hit ’em where they ain’t! Hiding out

Tupper Lake to Saranac Lake Ice Castle…

Started at 11am from the new Washington Street parking lot in Tupper Lake. This lot is so big, I was looking for the mall next to it. WOW! […]
