Bring
your bike, your family and your friends for a festival in the Canalway!
Choose
from a 23-mile leisurely bicycle ride complete with a trip on the Cuyahoga
Valley Scenic Railroad or a 10-mile family friendly ride complete with
a fun filled stop at Thornburg Station (including ice cream samples
provided by Carvel).
Immediately
following both rides, join us back at the Canalway Center (E. 49th Street
just off I-77) for a festival including a fantastic BBQ lunch, giveaways
and live entertainment. Riders also receive a goodie bag with a t-shirt,
coupons, snacks and more.
All
of this can be enjoyed for only $30 per person or $15 for children under
12.
This
all-inclusive festival is the perfect way to spend some time with family
and friends while enjoying our region's greatest asset, the Ohio &
Erie Canalway.
