Registration open for Cycle the Erie Canal Bike Tour

Parks & Trails New York each summer runs a 400-mile bike tour from Buffalo to Albany along the old Erie Canal.

This year's Cycle the Erie Canal tour along the historic corridor runs from July 10-17.

The $725 registration fee includes camping accommodations, breakfasts and dinners. Youth registration is $395.

Six hundred cyclists took part in the tour last summer. I can't see myself paying $725 to ride a bike down the canal when I've got a perfectly good boat, but then again, I'm pretty lazy. Anyways, I'll toast these crazy bikers as they ride by. I've got nothing but respect for them.

Register here.
