THE BRONX (WABC) — New York State’s largest free cycling event, the Tour de Bronx, returned on Sunday to celebrate its 31st anniversary with thousands of riders.<\/p>\n

Over 4,000 cyclists registered to take part in the 31st annual Tour de Bronx, which kicked off at 10 a.m. near East 161st Street and Grand Concourse.<\/p>\n

ABC 7 New York is a proud sponsor of the Tour de Bronx, and our very own Eyewitness News anchor and Bronx native Pedro Rivera emceed the opening ceremony.<\/p>\n

The free event includes a 10-mile family-friendly route, a 25-mile intermediate ride and a 40-mile challenge for advanced cyclists.<\/p>\n

Along the way, riders enjoy natural beauty while passing through neighborhoods in the South Bronx, Wakefield, Riverdale and Orchard Beach.<\/p>\n

All routes culminate at the finish line at the New York Botanical Garden. There will also be a closing reception for participants featuring live performances by DJ King Louis and the Mind Builder Band, all in celebration of Bronx pride.<\/p>\n

The Tour de Bronx was established in 1994 to showcase Bronx neighborhoods, scenic waterfronts and greenways, while also promoting healthy lifestyles.<\/p>\n
