Rider Experiences
"One of the most beautiful bike rides in the eastern United States. We look forward to the Ride for the River event every year. Always well run, well marked, and lots of friendly people!"
"If you have never ridden by bike through the AuSable watershed before, you need to do this. The scenery and views are amazing, and the towns of Wilmington, Jay, and AuSable Forks are very cool to explore."
"The alliance between BikeADK and AFC for the benefit of AFC could not be better. BikeADK are masterful at running the ride and after event, and AFC is doing such important work."
“First time with BikeADK and it was great! Fun route with gorgeous views. The snack stations were well stocked with happy faces and yummy treats! We can’t wait to ride again!”
