America's Original Gravel Grinder Bike Race
The Black Fly Challenge is a legendary bike race in the Adirondacks, held annually on the second Saturday in June. This 40-mile gravel race takes riders through the stunning backcountry of the Adirondacks, navigating the rugged Moose River Plains and following waterways, dirt paths, and challenging trails through dense forests.
As one of the most popular homegrown Adirondack bike races, the Black Fly Challenge offers an exciting challenge that requires skill with pedals and an appetite for fun and adventure.
The first Black Fly Challenge began as a small biking race in 1996, with a total of 60 competitors. Since then, the Black Fly Challenge has grown exponentially and is now one of northern New York’s most anticipated summer events, with 1,000 participants entering the competition each year and hundreds more gathering to cheer along the course.
For additional information, visit The Black Fly Challenge's official race site.

Enjoy a weekend of birding trips in the Adirondacks this winter. Participants will look for winter irruptive species such as Bohemian Waxwings, and winter finch species such as Red and White-winged Crossbills, Pine Siskins, Evening Grosbeaks, Pine Grosbeaks, and more, along with year-round boreal residents such as Ruffed Grouse, Black-backed Woodpecker, Canada Jay, and Boreal Chickadee. Food sources are good this year, with abundant fruit, and many conifer species have excellent cone crops. For more detailed information, see this year’s “Winter Finch Forecast.”
Field Trips: Joan Collins will lead field trips on both days. Both Saturday and Sunday morning, meet outside the Adirondack Hotel at 7 a.m. (near the bridge over Long Lake on Route 30). Participants can drive in their own vehicles or carpool if they are comfortable, to reduce the number of cars in the train.
Social Dinner: On Saturday evening, we can gather in the Adirondack Hotel dining room at 6 p.m. to enjoy dinner together.
