The Finger Lakes Cycling Club holds an annual Young People's Bike Tour along a portion of the Erie Canal each year.Volunteers from the club organize the ride, which includes overnight camping, with gear carried by truck from the starting point to the end of the ride and then back again the next day.
This easy ride of about 20 miles (32 km) is an excellent introduction to bicycle touring along a scenic path that includes wooded trails, paved bike paths, and a stop at locks along the way. In addition to camping at the end, there is a community recreation center with swimming.
Our kids greatly enjoyed the experience and we wish to thank all those who gave their time to help with planning, execution, food stops, truck driving, etc.!
