I've never been, Paul. I have a mental image of 2-wheeled gridlock and a love of the open road.
Is it worth a day trip, or is this one of those multiple day things?

We went to it last year and it was not what I thought it would be.
I thought it was a touring bike rally with lots of long distance riders.
It was a cruiser rally with lots of loud bikes.
We did get the Two-up long distance trophy.
I would not go again. We have Street Vibrations in Reno, thats almost the same.

Whatever one is looking for it can be found in Lake George. Americade is not Canada street with its bars and several hundred (thousand?) parked motorcycles.
I like the motorcycles demos, the seminars and the riding. Last year I even went to the rodeo and gained a lot of respect for those cowboys wresting with some mighty large livestock.

Americade a roaring success
Bottom line:
Am now sorting through 44 folders and over 1700 photos of Americade. Will share a few.
Lots of happy campers of all ages
Balloon Glow - a beautiful evening event
Of course there was GS riding. Two days of challenging trails through the Adirondacks.
Geico getaway breakfast. One of many charity events
Friday night's event is at the Great Escape - a six flags amusement park.
Bottom line:
- great attendance in a down economic time - equaled last year.
- perfect weather for seven days straight; 70s during the day and in 40s to 50s at night.
