The World Comes to Lake Placid: UCI Mountain Bike World Series Returns for an October Weekend in the Adirondacks
What's Happening
Lake Placid — already named Priceline's #1 Fall Foliage Destination in the U.S. for 2026 — adds another reason to visit this October: the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series arrives for a three-day event on October 2-4. UCI Mountain Bike World Series events bring the world's top cross-country and endurance racers to venues across the globe, and Lake Placid's Adirondack terrain makes it a genuinely spectacular setting for racing.
