Mountain Biking The Long Island Double Crown | Glacier Ridge To Overton

- I mountain biked all of Glacier Ridge and all of Overton Preserve to create a 26.3 mile loop with 1,878 feet of climbing. This was quite exhausting and I did it all with just one granola bar and some water. Definitely wouldn't recommend doing that. This was my longest ride yet and took nearly 4 hours to complete. Check out my Strava stats below. I rode my Commencal as always and recorded this on my GoPro Hero 8 in 4K 30 fps.

Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Your vids have helped me find trails near Johnson City, keep up the good work.
Thanks, glad to hear it!
nice vidz bro!!! love glacier ridge and g8 as well those 2 are my favorite!!
Thanks dude! I really appreciate it and they are my favorite for mileage and fun, but meadowlark and Hempstead are my favorites for just goofing around and having a blast!
Started riding GR and Ovrt the past few weeks Im on a 1995 GT ridged hardtail... I gotta go get a new bike but inthe meantime having a blast on those trails!!! good luck in school maybe Ill see ya out there sometime! Ill follow you on strva to see other good trails
Thanks Rob, I appreciate that! Enjoy the adventure, no matter what bike you're on!
Good video!
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Great Video ! my favorite trails Glacier Ridge and Overton total mileage both with the connection would be 28 Miles.
Thanks! I've been really liking Meadowlark Park and Hempstead Harbor Woods, but Glacier Ridge and Overton are the best spots to get mileage and have fun!
@@VentureMTB same as you meadowlark become in the last year a top trail that I love and My Daughter favor plus stillwell. we road in meadowlark yesterday sunny beautiful Saturday . Good luck in collage.
was just there this afternoon. Missed Hunters path and Dark Side. SMH. Will definitely check out the Overton connection. Thanks
Nice! Hunters Path and Dark Side are good ones and I believe there is a Dark Side Extension as well.
Venture yes there is an extension loop to it and a bailout before you go back onto hunters path
Very cool!!
Thanks!
I live down the rd. ill be sure to look for you on the trail!
jny78 I’m up in Binghamton, NY right now for college, but I should be home for the winter and back on LI trails
Great job crushing both trails in the same ride! Which trail would you say is more taxing? My son and I completed GR yesterday. Never did Overton. Some of the hills were tough, but manageable. Doing both in the same day is out of the question at this point.
Thanks! I think Overton is a little less taxing, but I think GR flows better so for me I always prefer GR. Nice job on completing GR, you never know….maybe a GROT is in your future!
i have seen nobody do this...im building the strength up now for it
You can do it! Just remember to prepare especially now that it’s hot outside!
Hey I’m from Long Island also! How do I get here ?!?
If you want to start at Glacier Ridge, its right behind Brookhaven Town Hall in Farmingville. Then you can use TrailForks to locate the trails that you'd like to take, particularly the one that will take you to Overton as shown in the video.
Good s*** man. See you out there this spring.
Thanks man!
@@VentureMTB hey bro what kind of bike is that you're riding on? Do you think it's realistic for me to find a good mountain bike for sale around $500? Thanks and good luck in Binghamton stay safe and away from the Corona. I got it right now and it sucks.
@@snoop73633 Thanks, but damn that sucks, hope you recover soon! I ride a 2016 Commencal Meta TR V4, but I've changed basically everything on it but the rear shock and cranks. I've made it as beefy as I saw fit for riding upstate and whatnot. Definitely isn't made for LI trails...
Where do you recommend on LI if new to this.
Stillwell and Glacier Ridge are the two places that I started out riding. They both have beginner trails that have more difficult loops added on to the beginner trail. Trailforks is a great app to help find which trails suit your riding skill and where to find them.
Venture really appreciate the quick response.
Is there a indoor MTB park nearby there another in Ohio that not going because I’m in Long Island
No I don't think there are any indoor MTB parks on Long Island
What bike?
2016 Commencal Meta TR V4
What college do you go to?
Binghamton University
Hey nice video message me when your out riding again maybe I can do a follow cam with you.
I’ll be a third! Just upgraded to a hero 8
