To the editor:

The 2022 edition of the Pat Stratton Memorial Bike Ride is in the books. We had a very successful event by all accounts. There were lots of smiles all round, and more importantly, no reported accidents or mishaps. We had 129 riders registered from seven states plus Canada, with ages ranging from 15 to 77. Proceeds will be used to support the good works of the Kiwanis Club of Saranac Lake. This includes free bike helmets at our annual bike rodeo, third grade dictionaries, college scholarships, and most recently, bikes for kids in need.

Our sponsors are the best and many have been supporting the ride since the beginning 22 years ago. Our thanks go out to our sponsors; Adirondack 105 and LAKEfm 100.7, Adirondack By Owner, Adirondack Health, ALDI, Carcuzzi Car Care Center, Gladd Electric, High Peaks Cyclery, HomEnergy Services, Hyde Fuel., Lamb Lumber, Maddens Transfer and Storage, North Country Community College, NCPR, Paul Smith’s College, Placid Planet, Scheefer’s Adirondack Builders, Specialty Wood Products, Saranac Lake Free Library, Stratton Hardware, Bill Rich, Winnie Pelletieri, Adirondack Bank, Geomatics Land Surveying, Rumble Carpentry, Adirondack Bean-to-Coffee, and Barrie and Deedee Wigmore. Special thank yous to: Loreman’s Screen Printing, Wicked Signs and Graphics, Bike Adirondacks, Mac’s Canoe Livery and Outfitter, Aktion Club, Danielle Millen (pie baker extraordinaire), town of Vermontville and Friends of Mount Pisgah.

We hope to see you next year for another fine day of friends, riding, and pie!
