<br>Start Location: Clinton Community College: <br> This loop starts from a spectacular <br>historic landmark bluff overlooking Lake Champlain. <br>Once a famous hotel that served as a summer White <br>House for President Woodrow Wilson. It is now a community <br>college. <br>The ride heads south in a clockwise loop (the ride is <br>equally nice in the opposite direction). Starting on the <br>Rt. 9 Bikeway, ride a short distance past the third oldest <br>golf course in the US to the mouth of the Salmon River. <br>Then turn west riding through gently sloping fertile farmlands <br>of the northern Adirondack Coast. North of Peru <br>you will ride a short distance on Rt. 22B. Be sure to look <br>behind you here, into the Ausable Valley with a teasing <br>view of the Adirondack foothills and mountains. After <br>again crossing the Salmon River, you'll head east toward <br>Plattsburgh International Airport, formerly Plattsburgh <br>Air Force Base, now the region's new airport. Check the <br>views of the Adirondacks off to your right along Arizona <br>Ave. After returning to NYS Rt. 9 Bikeway the finish is less <br>than two miles away. <br>
