The Adirondack Mountain range in Northeastern New York is a recreational paradise of high rocky summits and breathtaking vistas - both of which factor into the sadistic mountain bike race known as the Wilmington Whiteface 100, part of the Wilmington Whiteface Bike Fest. Where Olympic heroes once skied down the greatest vertical drop east of the Rockies, you will face a decidedly different direction. Straight up. Good luck with all that.
