This year, closures of federal and banking operations and schools happen on Monday, Nov. 12 because the federal holiday falls on a Sunday. » Veterans day Cont. on pg. 7

Popular tour will stop in Ticonderoga, Wilmington and Westport By Tim Rowland STA FF W RITER
WESTPORT| Cycle Adirondacks has announced the route for its signature tour of the 2019 season. The week-long road tour, dubbed the Ultimate Cycling Vacation, will begin and end in Ticonderoga, with overnights in Wilmington and Westport. The news was greeted with enthusiasm by a gathering assembled at Ledge Hill Brewery in Westport, as well as by supervisors, Chamber of Commerce and tourism officials who attended the event. Ticonderoga Supervisor Joe Giordano said he looked forward to the tour re-
turning to Ti, which was a tour stopover in 2016. He said the exposure is good for the town, while the area is an attractive venue for bicyclists. It will be the first time the five-yearold tour — which is expected to attract about 250 riders — has stopped in Wilmington and Westport. “They’ll see our incredible beauty, the lake and our world class golf,” said Westport Supervisor Michael “Ike” Tyler. “And they will get to know the sincerity, honesty and passion of our people who make this town what it is.” Since the tour’s debut in 2015, it has accommodated 850 riders from almost every U.S. state and Canadian province. The goal is to connect riders with Adirondack communities, said Doug Haney, Cycle Adirondacks co-director, offering economic benefits to the residents and breathtaking scenery and recreational opportunities to the bicyclists. The organization also returns money to the communities in the form of grants, and
promotes conservation and sustainability. There’s a new route each year, and the communities represented Thursday were pleased to have made the list of venues. “This is probably one of the biggest things that’s happened here in a while,” said Westport Chamber President Deirdre Forcier. This year, cyclists will stay in the host towns for two nights instead of one, with optional rides including a loop into Vermont on the ferry, and back across the Champlain Bridge, along with an optional spin up Whiteface mountain. Forcier said she hopes riders will also take a little time to explore the community, with its marina, golf and sustainable agriculture. Michelle Preston, operations manager at Whiteface Visitors Bureau, said Wilmington is a natural fit for the tour, considering its growing reputation for highquality mountain biking. “Wilmington is the cycling capital of the Adirondacks,” she said.
