An absolutely stunning mountain ridge ride (see the photos) with a charming bistro lunch in a quintessential Vermont village.  

First, you’ll ride through gorgeous farmland toward the Vermont border, taking in great sights of the Green Mountains to your east and riding through a covered bridge (or two).  Enjoy this relaxing romp because things are about to get very exciting.  

You’re headed to a private toll road (we’ve taken care of the fee) that seemingly balances atop a mountain ridgeline to the very top of the second-highest mountain in Vermont.  It’s newly paved, marble smooth, and has some legitimate twisty sections.  Be prepared wowed.

You’ll be in rarified air, 3,850 feet above sea level. You’ll have 360-degree views of New Hampshire to the east, Massachusetts to the south, New York to your West and, on clear days, Montreal’s Mount Royal!

Afterward, we’re taking you to a quintessential Vermont village that by itself would be worth the ride.  Classic inns, white clapboarding, church spires…the whole deal.  And, in the village we’ll stop for lunch (on us) at a quaint bistro that has a great reputation for making great food.  You’ll love the food, you’ll be talking about the ride to the sky, and the day is only ½ done!

So, if you’re coming all the way up to the Adirondacks, why not guarantee yourself a great day of riding?

This may ride may provide the most impressive Adirondack views of any of our rides.

You’ll ride north, deep into the Adirondacks, passing by peaks whose size only grows the deeper you ride into this incredible state park. On good days, in the distance you’ll see mountain climbers hanging from rock faces above, and thin waterfalls vaporizing as they fall hundreds of feet.

You’ll ride up the Whiteface Memorial Highway to the pinnacle (your toll, which can be as much as $30 for a couple, is included in the tour). From the nearly 5,000′ summit, you can see Canada and New Hampshire!

A small elevator will take you from the parking lot to the summit, thanks to President Roosvelt’s demand that the summit be wheelchair accessible.

Lunch is at AAA Four Diamond award winning inn, providing the perfect authentic Adirondack experience. You’ll be wow’ed by the beauty of the inn, the views, and the food.

SPECIAL OPTION! (This is optional/ For those not interested, your guide will bypass this attraction) There is a brand new, tree-top “roller coaster” in Lake Placid, giving you an one-of-a-kind arial experience. This is the LONGEST mountain coaster in the USA, and Americade offers a special, optional discounted ticket to this ride, and your tour leaders will bring those of you interested in this truly-incredible experience.

Mountain coasters allow you to ride in your own cart, control your own speed, and provide as thrilling an experience as you want. Don’t want to go fast? No problem. Want a little adrenaline? No problem.

You’ll have amazing views, lasting memories, and a whole lot of laughs. You’ll be able to purchase this coaster ticket on the day of the ride.

One of our MOST POPULAR TOURS! This is a wonderful full-day tour to a stunning destination that only an Americade tour could provide.

You’ll spend the morning riding through scenic farmland and rolling hills on gently winding roads towards Vermont’s Green Mountains. In Vermont, your easy going route will follow smooth roads along meandering river valleys, passing quaint villages with white steeples, until you reach your morning stop.

Lunch will be at a top-shelf impressive 400 acre estate in  beautiful Manchester Vermont. This historic landmark will serve a meal as stunning as their architecture, which is the perfect compliment to your day’s ride.

A stunning ride through New York and Vermont, taking you to at least 7 lovely covered bridges, numerous quaint villages and a restaurant named the #1 Most Beautiful Restaurant in Vermont!

This is a perennial favorite of Americade, and if you haven’t done it, then you really should this year. This is a rare opportunity to ride through so many of these classic, and beautiful bridges while taking in the unique beauty of Vermont’s quaint villages.

This was the #1 rated route in 2019 for good reason (imagine a Norman Rockwell painting).

The highlights of the tour are the covered bridges, which in many cases are more than 150 years old yet are open for use to all. Before and after lunch you’ll ride slowly through them, enjoying their unique and charming character. And it’s very difficult to knit together such a good route through so many of them in a single day.

THIS is an amazing tour.

So, if you’re coming all the way up to the Adirondacks, why not guarantee yourself a great day of riding?

A highly entertaining and easygoing guided lakeside ride with great scenery and an elegant lakeside lunch destination.

This is a particularly good all-day ride taking you across and alongside the sinewy shorelines of Lake George and Lake Champlain. 

There are hundreds of fantastic views on this ride, overlooking the lake, the New York’s Adirondack Mountains and Vermont’s Green Mountains. You’ll span a large bridge, you’ll pass past revolutionary war forts, you’ll ride through farmland, you see little Vermont towns, and you’ll ultimately have lunch at a remarkable and elegant lakeside resort.

You’ll dine at a gracious resort on the shores of Lake Champlain, owned and operated by the same family since the 1800’s! After lunch, stroll along the shoreline for more amazing views.

This really is a laidback, unique activity.  They say it requires about as much energy as walking. 

You can choose a tandem (two riders side by side) or a quad (two rows of two riders side by side).

Lunch is not included. 

The ride to and from the rail bikes is roughly an hour, and is enjoyable.

Combine a great ride with doing some real good.  You’ll ride a fun route combining some twisties with some open rural road, with lots of photo opportunities.  It’s about 100 miles and 2 hrs 15 min of seat time.

At the conclusion of the ride, you’ll be treated like VIP’s with a special parking area waiting for you INSIDE Americade.  You’ll be given free access to the Expo all day, AND lunch will be included!  Stewarts Scoop Shops will also give you a free ice cream cone! 

A bunch of great prizes will be awarded, and in total tens of thousands of dollars will be raised for little kids with cancer – How can you NOT do this ride?

It’s guided by REVER, so ride in the group, or solo.  REVER is provided for free during Americade Week to registered tour riders.
