4 Day 3 Night Niagara Falls to Syracuse Adventure

Due to the extreme interest in this Adventure, we have arranged options to increase bike shuttle capabilities significantly beyond the 10 noted below. Riders who say they are going does not reflect those who have paid their shuttle fee so far.
Exciting 4 day 3 night 190 mile Erie Canal ride from Niagara Falls to Syracuse NY. You will enjoy unbelievable scenic views of the amazing Niagara Falls. A relaxing scenic 3.45 hr Amtrak ride from Syracuse to Niagara Falls NY. Included at no charge breath taking views of the Pennsylvania Mts while you travel north to Syracuse. You will go back in time and enjoy its history while you ride next to the Eric Canal and discover the many historic towns along the way on your adventure back to Syracuse.
Bike shuttle between Syracuse and Niagara Falls is currently estimated at about $25.00 with a limit of 10 participants due to size of trailer for transport. If response is extreme, we will consider another option to accommodate more bikes. Spaces will be guaranteed based on receipt of your shuttle fee. Number of participants shown on Meetup as GOING does not equate to number of participants having paid their shuttle fee and have a reserved spot.
This ride will have a support vehicle for any situation that may arise.
