RED HOUSE — The Allegany State Park Environmental Education and Recreation Department and the Western New York Mountain Bike Association (WNYMBA) will host another year of fat bike fun rides. A fat bike is a mountain bike with extra-large tires to handle mud, sand and snow. The 5 to 8-mile fun rides are for all levels and will last up to 2 hours, depending on the weather. Riders will roll through the Red House area of the park. If there is no snow, any bike is welcome. Although pre-registration is not required, if you are interested in borrowing a bike for any of these events, please call (716) 379-6939 as bike availability is limited.
First up is the Black Friday Family Bike Ride on Nov. 24. Join other participants on an evening ride along the Red House Bike Path. Meet at Camp Allegany at 6:15 p.m., with the ride starting at 6:30 p.m. Children must be accompanied by an adult and wear a helmet. You do not have to have a fat bike for this ride, but you will need a headlamp or a bike light.
Please, no balance bikes, or bikes with training wheels. As a way to be thankful, consider bringing a toy, an item for a child’s bicycle, or a non- perishable food item to donate to our local charities.
New Gear’s Eve Bike Ride begins at Camp Allegany on Dec. 31, 2023 at 6 p.m., with the ride starting at 6:30 pm.
