From the 2011 race FAQ page:

What kind of race is the Black Fly?
The Black Fly Challenge is a 40-mile destination race (one-way) that takes place every year on the second Saturday in June. A legendary Adirondack mountain bike race, the BFC traverses the wild & scenic Moose River Plains and changes direction each year, with Inlet and Indian Lake alternating as the start/finish points. The race attracts a variety of bikes and everything from serious racers to recreational riders. It also attracts some serious adventurists – among the 2010 entries were a unicyclist and a 3-seat bike.

I'd love to join you guys. Only two minor problems: 1) I can't get there (the excuse), and 2) it would kill me (the real reason).
