Stage One is a short, moderate mountain biking route in New York, set within a cluster of trails about 0.16 miles long. It rises from 547 feet to 568 feet, with an elevation gain of 11 feet on the way up and a loss of 51 feet on the way back. The steepest part of the route, a 3% grade, comes at about 0.07 miles in.
