Pedal the Lakes is a bicycle tour beginning in Greenville, PA. It has multiple distances for all abilities and visits many of northwestern Pennsylvania's and Ohio's waterways and lakes.

Within a ninety minute drive from Erie, Cleveland and Pittsburgh, our full-service tour in beautiful Western PA and NE Ohio features Amish countryside, several lakes, rolling rural roads, and a chance siting of ducks walking on fish. Routes will be 12, 32, 65, and 100 miles. Support vehicles patrol the course, but bikes should be in good working order. Riders are encouraged to bring tubes, patches, tools, pumps, etc. Helmets are required.

WE RIDE RAIN OR SHINE!
