Start location: Ausable Chasm Bridge on Rt. 9, 1.5 miles <br>2.4km. north of Keeseville: <br> <br> This ride starts at a deep natural <br>cut through sandstone by the Ausable River. It <br>continues through rolling farmlands perched overlooking <br>the west coast of Lake Champlain with the Green Mountains <br>of Vermont in the distance. This is a challenging ride <br>as it enters the forested foothills of the Adirondack Coast <br>headed toward Willsboro. Don't be surprised if you decide <br>to hop off your bike for a short but peaceful walk over the<br>steepest sections on the Highlands Road. Eventually <br>you'll reach Rt. 22 to turn west and north for another <br>climb and finally get to the intersection of Rt. 9 and <br> Rt. 22 near exit 33 of I-87. In four miles you will reach the <br>historic and charming village of Keeseville, once a booming <br>industrial village that also served as a layover point for <br>steamship travelers vacationing in the Adirondacks.
