This year we are adding a little extra fun to Cycle the Erie with themed ride days throughout the week!

You can go all out or keep it simple. Themed days are a great way to connect with fellow riders, show off your personality, and make memories along the way. Here is what we have planned:

Day 1: State Day

Represent where you’re from with apparel representing your hometown, state, college, local landmarks, favorite sports teams, local businesses, or whatever else you can think of. It’s a fun way to spark conversations with fellow riders and learn a little more about where everyone calls home.

Day 3: Tropical Day

We know things can heat up out on the trail, so let’s lean into the summer spirit! Bust out the Hawaiian shirts, leis, sunglasses, and bright colors. We are bringing the beach to the Erie Canal.

Day 5: 250 Years of the US

As we roll into Rome, we’re celebrating in red, white, and blue. In honor the 250th anniversary of the US, break out your patriotic gear, historical looks, and festive outfits as we lean into the spirit of the day. Dust off your Uncle Sam hats, wave your flags, and get ready for one of the most spirited ride days of the week.

Day 8: CTEC Jersey Day

Pull out your CTEC jersey or your favorite PTNY gear as we make our way toward the finish line. There’s no better way to wrap up an incredible week on the road together.

Now, there’s no pressure or costume requirements. Join in however you like and most importantly, have fun with it. We can’t wait to see the creativity you all bring to the trail this year!
