Gregory Ulicnik
🏔️ Day 13/14 — The Pipers Run 2026: Final Morning in the Adirondacks One last loop through Jay before heading home — 91 miles through Bloomingdale and back, 2 hrs 21 min in the saddle, 38 mph average, 84 mph top speed, and 2,066 ft of climbing to send off the mountain leg of the trip. Grey skies, green fields, and one more sticker earned for the trailer — every mile up here got its mark. Thirteen days down, one to go. The Pipers came, they climbed, they conquered.

- #2🔥 Day 11/14 — The Pipers Run 2026: “Unbelievable” Says It
Gregory Ulicnik
🔥 Day 11/14 — The Pipers Run 2026: “Unbelievable” Says It All They named the route “Unbelievable” and it did not disappoint — 388 miles, 8 hrs 7 min in the saddle, up through Watertown and Canton, brushing the Canadian border near Ottawa and Montreal, with a top speed of 98 mph and 1,958 ft of elevation. This is the kind of day that reminds you why we do this. Stopped for a beer at Bitters & Bones, took in the water views along the way, and closed it out with the crew — cigars, thumbs up, and Clutch by my side the whole time. Love you, brother. Boom weather, boom miles, unforgettable memories. Eleven days deep and this one’s going in the books.

Gregory Ulicnik
🌧️ Day 10/14 (Afternoon) — The Pipers Run 2026 Loves the Rain Followed up the morning recon with an afternoon loop through Lake Placid and Jay — 74 miles in 1 hr 44 min, averaging 42 mph with a top speed of 66 mph. Climbed to 2,201 ft in the Adirondack mist and didn’t care one bit — rain or not, this is exactly why we came up here. Roads like Route 86 don’t need sunshine to be perfect. Ten days in, still soaked, still smiling

Gregory Ulicnik
🔥 Day 12/14 — The Pipers Run 2026: “Sweet” and Full of Adventure This one lived up to its name — “Sweet” delivered 286 miles through the North Country, up along the Lake Champlain islands past North Hero, over to Plattsburgh, and back down through the Adirondacks. Hit a top speed of 90 mph, climbed to 2,198 ft, and logged 7 hrs 8 min in the saddle averaging 42 mph. Of course upstate New York wasn’t going to let us off easy — Clutch’s foot peg decided to make a break for it, and I squeezed in a 30-minute conference call mid-ride because the road doesn’t stop and neither does the job. Through it all the Pipers kept roaring, with mountain views over Lake Placid and a quiet moment on the water at Fort Blunder to close it out. Every turn, another story. Twelve days in — writing it loud, riding it louder.

- #5Day 14/14 — The Pipers Run 2026: The Ride Home
Gregory Ulicnik
Fourteen days. Every mile earned, every stop worth it. Somewhere between assessing the situation, catching great views, having a beer or two, and dropping the bike (once, allegedly — the record’s a little disputed), this crew turned a route into a memory. Good company, good roads, zero regrets, and about a dozen inside jokes nobody outside this group will ever fully understand (“violent pipe sounds,” anyone?). Picture perfect, relaxing, carefree — and already something worth coming back to. The Pipers Run 2026 is officially in the books. See you on the next one.
