ERIE, Penn.—Registration for The Erie Sports Commission’s 2025 Lake Erie Cyclefest, sponsored by Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield and AHN Saint Vincent Hospital, begins Jan. 21. This year’s event will take place July 24-27 and features six rides over four days across Erie County. The proceeds will benefit nonprofit partner organizations.
For first-timers or those with less experience, there are shorter rides like Lake Erie Cyclefest Downtown Slow Roll or the shorter-distance options offered by the Tour de West County, Presque Isle Sunrise Ride, See Spot Ride, and Ride for Animal Rescue. For experienced cyclists, three of the rides offer distance options of 25-30 miles. The Six Mile Creek Classic allows mountain bikers of all ages and skill levels to take to the woods at Six Mile Creek Park.
“Lake Erie Cyclefest has become a signature event that draws hundreds of cyclists of all abilities each year,” says Mark Jeanneret, executive director of the Erie Sports Commission. “We’re proud to collaborate with six incredible nonprofit organizations that lead the rides and use the funds raised to advance their missions.”
Participating nonprofit organizations include Asbury Woods, Because You Care, Bike Erie, Erie Downtown Partnership, Northern Allegheny Mountain Bike Association, and Presque Isle Partnership.
