The Town of Oyster Bay and Empire State Ride Long Island hosted Long Island’s largest charity bike ride to raise funds for clinical research and trials that will benefit cancer patients at Catholic Health on Long Island and Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. Over the past two years this event has raised over $200,000 to support cancer research and clinical trials.
Held on July 22, the ride featured three different course lengths for riders of all ages and abilities. All course routes began in downtown Oyster Bay and featured a ride through beautiful beaches, woodlands and historic destinations, including Theodore Roosevelt’s home at Sagamore Hill, in and around the town’s North Shore.
