Rochester, N.Y. — More than 600 cyclists from 37 states and Canada are riding across New York this week for the 28th annual Cycle the Erie Canal Bike Tour.
This is the third day of the 400-mile trek, where the group is visiting historical canal communities, local businesses, and landmarks across the state.
13WHAM caught up with riders during an afternoon rest stop in Rochester.
“It’s been great, I love riding my bike,” said Kevin Flaherty of Long Island. “The support is great, the people are great. I’ve met so many people, and there’s so much more to all the trails across the United States. Everybody from all around has been around eastern Kentucky, California, Virginia, and North Carolina. I’ve made a lot of friends.”
The cyclists are expected to reach Albany on Sunday.
