Check out the Adirondack Black Fly Challenge course anywhere, any time. No reception needed once downloaded to your phone.

The Black Fly Challenge is a classic Adirondack Mountain bike race that takes place every year on the second Saturday in June. The race changes direction every year with the start and finish alternating between Indian Lake and Inlet, NY. Over half the 40 mile course traverses the rugged Moose River Recreation Area on mountain roads composed of dirt, gravel, sand and exposed boulders with several steep elevation changes. The top racers finish the race in about two hours while the rest of the field may take four or more hours.

Zoom way in and view the trail using a choice of background maps from street and satellite view to USGS topo view. Enable GPS on your phone and check your current location relative to the course.
Tap the trail to view the app’s included PDF file, featuring an elevation profile of the course and describing more about the Moose River Recreation Area. Show it to your friends and join everyone during the race in June or just ride it on your own any other time.

This app is a free, promotional version of our Adirondack Trails app and includes all the same resources, with plenty of places to eat, stay and shop throughout the Adirondack Park, along with numerous campgrounds, lean-tos and handicap accessible recreation points. New for 2015 is the inclusion of dozens of mountain biking trails throughout the ADK Park.

Download Black Fly Challenge now and start dreaming about crossing the finish line or planning your next exciting get-away.

REMEMBER: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Please be prepared.
