The experience.

This is a ride you do not want to miss.

Empire State Ride Long Island is a perfect, family-friendly charity bike ride. Ride on Saturday, July 22 through the beautiful beaches, woodlands and historic destinations in and around Oyster Bay all while helping cancer patients gain access to the newest clinical trials.

What to expect.

Choose from one of our three routes with varying distances and start times, each beginning and ending in historic Downtown Oyster Bay. Get ready to fundraise for an amazing cause. Every penny goes toward clinical trials for cancer patients at Catholic Health Cancer Institutes and Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. When you’re not riding, enjoy live music, vendors, food trucks and more. You will walk away from this event feeling fulfilled and knowing that every pedal got the world one step closer to ending cancer.
