Fat Bike Day Sunday
If you enjoy a community Bike Ride, here’s a chance to spend Sunday morning with some friendly folks riding from Lewiston to Niagara Falls and back.
Global Fat Bike Day ride from Lewiston to Niagara Falls and back.
I'd argue that this is the most scenic ride in all of WNY. If you haven't ridden the gorge trail, it has some really fantastic views of the river gorge. And then of course, some great views of the falls in Niagara Falls State Park.
It's about twenty miles round trip. The return leg from NF to Lewiston is mostly downhill and there's usually a tailwind so it's not a difficult ride. https://www.trailforks.com/ridelog/view/44496157/
There are a couple spots in Art Park where the trail is very rocky AND with very dangerous exposure. If you'd rather not ride those parts, you can ride up the paved Niagara Scenic Trail out of Lewiston and we can regroup just north of the power plant where the Art Park trail rejoins the scenic trail
Upon our return to Lewiston, we can go to the Village Bake Shoppe or Orange Cat Coffee to refuel.
This ride is at your own risk. The only real risk is the Art Park trail, but again, that part is easily avoided by riding the scenic trail.
Please plan to be self sufficient in case of breakdowns. I'm a fair weather rider so if it's actively raining/snowing, I'll likely cancel and find something else to do
No fat bike? No problem. All bikes welcome.
Park in the spaces that are adjacent to Academy Park. I'll be on the Cayuga St. side on the back side of Tops.
Don't be late!! Pedaling at 10AM sharp!
