Ben and I started the Picnic at 7:21 am in front of the Saranac Lake 6er Bell.
We biked our way to ADK Heart Loj pretty easily. We started our swim across the lake getting out, having a short and minimal bushwack to the trailhead. We geared up and headed over to Marcy. There were a lot of people as we tackled this on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend. We summited, had our picnic and headed back. The day was perfect and the swim back felt great. The bike back we definitely felt the mileage on our legs. We were fully unsupported and had all our gear with us from the start to the end. A few tips, water us abundant on the trail as there are many streams to filter and fill up at. The bike ride does end up going through some loose gravel roads where hike a bike becomes necessary on a road bike. Other than that it was a great day out and an amazing challenge. We hope somebody could take it one and smash our record because there is a lot of room for improvement.
