Lake Erie Cyclefest

Presque Isle Sunrise Ride

Cyclists will have the opportunity to become one with the rising sun at Erie's most popular tourist destination, Presque Isle State Park, during the Presque Isle Sunrise Ride. The flat, 13-mile loop features water views on both sides and is one of the most spectacular routes in the region. The ride will be hosted at the end of Discover Presque Isle, a multi-day celebration that aims to draw attention to the Park’s numerous recreational opportunities and diverse natural ecosystems. The Sunrise Ride will start at the Beach 1 Pavilion, and all registered cyclists will be given a voucher to the Discover PI Pancake Breakfast at the Rotary Pavilion. Participants are also invited to enjoy a special sunrise tour of the Presque Isle Lighthouse and climb the tower between 6-8 a.m., included with your registration!
