Onto Singletrack Trails
In Beebe Hill State Forest
Saturday, Sunday, or both days! Leaving from

We are running the event on both Saturday and Sunday so that you can choose the day that works best for you. Same ride format and aid stations on both days.
Riders can choose to stay on the gravel-only routes (shorter 41 miles, longer 56 miles) or venture onto chonky singletrack (shorter 45 miles, longer 61 miles). Shorter routes are 4000ft of climbing while longer routes are 6000ft, and +500ft for chonky routes.
The most detailed information is listed at BeebeAndBeyond.com
Registration Gets You:
All day socializing on bikes on a scenic, shaded route around the border of New York and Massachusetts
$5 donation to Columbia County Mountain Bike Alliance, who designed and maintain the singletrack trails

Parking:
We are happy to be hosted again by Roe Jan Brewing Co. in Hillsdale, NY. Park your vehicle in the large gravel parking area between Roe Jan Brewing Co and Herrington's construction supplies. The closest google maps location is 325 White Hill Lane, Hillsdale NY 12529. This is also a trailhead parking lot for the Harlem Valley Rail Trail.
Pre-Ride:
Riders will enjoy the pre-ride water, bathrooms, wifi, and covered patio. Volunteers and early arrivals will get free coffee provided by the brewery's next-door neighbor Twisted Sisters Coffee House.
7:30am check-in opens with coffee for volunteers and early arrivals
plenty of time to use the bathroom, fill water bottles, and use the venue's wifi for any last-minute device syncing
8:15am check-in closes
8:25am pre-ride safety briefing in a big crowd around the “longer” riders
8:30am depart for the “longer” routes
8:40am another pre-ride safety briefing for “shorter” riders
8:45am depart for the “shorter” routes
Routes:
Some folks will probably go as fast as they can. But the shorter routes will have a ‘party pace’ 8mph average cluster of riders that will finish with more than 5 hours of riding. All routes data will be sent to everyone who registers. But here’s a preview of the gravel-only shorter route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/51493948?privacy_code=AvGYFlt0jnpGxODhn08R22CEtGJDHs0Z
Shorter routes start to the west before heading north and starting the winding journey up the Taconic foothills to our high points in the state forests. The longer routes start to the south where they do a loop including Sunset Rock Rd before heading North, stopping at their special aid station, and then joining the shorter route for the remainder of the miles.
Post-Ride Fun:
On a hot summer afternoon after a very hilly bicycle ride, head indoors at Roe Jan Brewing Co. to the air conditioned dining room and order off of their full menu. Downstairs at the covered patio there are the same beers and ciders with a limited food menu. Stick around until the evening and you will catch the live music crowd. Each rider gets 1 drink ticket which can be used at the bar, or next door at Twisted Sisters Coffee House.
We will have a short awards ceremony around 12:30 for the fastest riders of the shorter and longer routes. At 4pm, after all the riders have completed the course, there will be a small awards ceremony for Ded Freakin' Last (DFL), Bike Least Suited For This Ride, and Sexiest Overall Bike. All trophies will be a variety of hot sauce!
Overnight Stays:
Beebe & Beyond isn't an overnight event, so if you are traveling from out of town you will have to make your own accommodations. Detailed suggestions for overnight stays will be found at BeebeAndBeyond.com

The Lace Up for Laura 5k walk/run fundraiser and Kids' Fun Run is a way to come together the last Saturday in June each year in celebration of Laura Cody McNaughton's life and her vision to bring
health and wellness to all before she died in a tragic car accident on June 28, 2018. All proceeds support local high school scholarships, and thanks to our amazing participants and sponsors, we’ve awarded $50,000 in local scholarships so far! It is intended to be a fun activity families can participate in together with runners and walkers of all abilities.
The event will consist of two races held on Saturday, June 27, 2026 in Weathersfield, VT:
---->8:30am- Approximately 1/3 mile Kids' (12 and under) Fun Run with COLOR RUN stations, BUBBLE stations, and a MEDAL for all. Plus all participants will receive a complimentary commemorative LACE UP DUCK for the Springfield Area Parent Child Center Duck Run happening in Springfield at their Family Block Party and Duck Run at 4PM! Ducks will have a chance to win cash and prizes at their event. A great day for local families!
---->9:00am- 3.1 mile (5km) race for all ages and abilities with professional timing, music, water stations, and uplifting energy
The starting line for both races will be located near the intersection of Plains Road and Reservoir Road. The 3.1 mile race will be an out and back race on the scenic dirt road known for its lack of change in elevation. Proceeds from the 5K will benefit the Laura Cody McNaughton Memorial fund and its annual scholarship which will be awarded to a graduating senior who exemplifies Laura’s leadership and giving spirit, and is pursuing further education and training in a field where these principles may be put into practice.

The Bike Hub is proud to announce our Sunday Epic ride series! These are all-day rides featuring some of the best mixed-terrain riding the tri-state area has to offer. Forgotten woods roads, fast
gravel, rugged singletrack, and even a bit of hike-a-bike. These rides will be long, difficult, and absolutely beautiful. While there is no perfect bike for a Sunday Epic, anything with around a 2 inch tire will work. More details on terrain will be included in each event post. Sunday Epic's will be held the third Sunday of every month from April-September. Start location may vary, but will usually end will some sort of food and drink situation. Wheels down at 8am always.
This round we are headed down under to Adams Massachusetts. Meet at the Ashuwilltacook Rail Trail parking on Hoosac street. The route will take us deep into Savory, where all of the “problem bears” from around the state are released. Tons of forgotten woods roads, super scenic. We'll drop into Hawley, Brier, Windsor, and tons of other cool little towns. Forgotten graveyards, vast swamps etc. I've only ridden some of this before so there might be some surprise re-routes or hike-a-bike - all part of the fun! Gravel bike with 2 inch tires or wider is recommended. Hardtail mtb is fine too.
A few notes on the nitty-gritty of these rides.
Sunday Epic's are fully self supported. Bring everything you need to successfully finish the route. We expect you to carry basics like spare tube, pump, multi-tool, patch kit, food and water, etc. Although we occasionally stop at a convenience store, there are many times where the ride is too remote for that to be an option.
We generally try to ride together, but you are welcome to do your own thing as long as you have the route. Group pace usually hovers somewhere around the 10mph average mark, but may be slower depending on terrain/climbing.
Expect this to take a good chunk of the day. Occasional stops for snacks etc. We move pretty continuously, but also aren't in a rush.
Join us for post-ride food and drink after, location tbd.
RideWithGPS link here.
Note that we don't charge anything for these rides, but we do welcome donations! We are a community-based 501c3 nonprofit focused on removing barriers to cycling for all within the tri-state area. We provide education, free access to bikes and cycling accessories, and provide a place for people of all ages and abilities to connect through cycling.

Essex Revolution Run/Walk 250 — 6.5K (4 Miles)
July 4 • 8:00 AM Start
Life. Liberty. Lake. Love.
Every Turn Counts.
Two hundred and fifty years ago, this region stood at the cutting edge of the fight
for American independence. Lake Champlain was the highway, the strategy, and the lifeline — and the communities along its shores were right in the middle of it.
This July 4th, we’re celebrating that history the Essex way: by getting outside, gathering together, and running (or walking) through the same beautiful landscape where it all unfolded.
Welcome to the Essex Revolution Run/Walk 250 — a professionally chip-timed 4-mile race celebrating community, fresh Adirondack air, working farmland, and a finish that leads straight into one of the best small-town Fourth of July celebrations around.
Brought to you by Lake Champlain Yoga, Pilates & Wellness, and formerly known as the Essex Firecracker Run, this year we’re leveling up for the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution in beautiful Essex-on-Lake Champlain, right in the heart of the Adirondack Park.
Yes, it’s historic.
Yes, it’s meaningful.
Yes, it’s also going to be a lot of fun.

The Course (It’s a Good One)
Flat start.
One gentle uphill.
Fast downhill finish.
The race begins on a firm, hard-packed country dirt road — easy underfoot and perfect for settling into your stride. From there, the course moves through open farmland in the Adirondack Park, passing cows, goats, sheep, chickens, and horses.
It’s basically a pastoral postcard… with sneakers.
After transitioning to paved roads, there’s one manageable climb (you’ve got this), followed by a downhill stretch that carries you into downtown Essex for a strong finish surrounded by parade energy.
And yes — Lake Champlain is right there at the end. If you decide to jump in afterward, we won’t judge. We might join you.
Run it fast, jog it easy, or walk it with friends — then stay downtown for the parade, music, food, and the best small-town Fourth of July celebration around.
Bring a phone or camera — the finish line and lake views make for excellent Fourth of July photos.
This scenic, smooth, and relatively fast course welcomes competitive runners, casual joggers, walkers, families, and anyone who enjoys fresh air and a good reason to celebrate.
If you’re chasing a personal best, this course can deliver — and if you’re here for the scenery and celebration, you’ll fit right in too.
