Experience breathtaking landscapes and Erie County’s abundant natural resources and spectacular routes, while enjoying the type of community that can only be found at a cycling festival! Cyclists of all ages and abilities will participate in self-supported rides on routes that feature Erie’s vast terrain – along sandy beaches and through old growth forests, across our vibrant downtown and our expansive grape-growing region.
As always, all event proceeds from Lake Erie Cyclefest, sponsored by Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield and AHN Saint Vincent Hospital, will benefit local charities. Proceeds from 2026 rides will benefit Asbury Woods, Because You Care Inc., Bike Erie, Erie Cancer Wellness Center, Erie Downtown Partnership, Northern Allegheny Mountain Bike Association and Presque Isle Partnership.
