Official start is at 10:15 a.m.
Start will be at Exit 28 off Northway (I-87) (Route 74, Ticonderoga, Paradox Lake) This exit is at Northway Milepost 88.1 Exit 28 is 1 3/4 hours north of the Hudson River crossing in Albany and about 50 minutes north of Lake George Village exit. From Clifton Park rest area, probably about 1.5 hours. About 35 minutes north of the Warrensburg Exit and say 30 minutes north of the Chestertown exit (which I think is Route 8 for those coming from the west.
Exit 28 is about 1 hr, 20 min. south of Plattsburgh if you happen to come from that direction.
For Conedodgers staying in Long Lake, it is at least a one hour drive East on the Blue Ridge Highway which you pick up in Newcomb. Lands you at Exit 29, then go south on I-87 one exit.
No real parking area. Pull off the highway, go east a very short distance, cross Route 9 and pull over. Very expensive Sunoco station with snacks on right a hundred yards South on Route 9.

If there is a strong contingent coming from the west, I will likely come up there the prior night and settle into a motel. Cone Mark and Harry, this is a wonderful drive. You will enjoy the roads up there.

I'm thinking of staying in Long Lake and taking 28N across on Saturday morning. I was up that way on the bike last year. Covered from Long Lake to Saratoga to White Face/Lake Placid. Great roads!
