Today, we talk to Jean Mackay of Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor about the inspiration for the 1st Mile Challenge and where it is going in the future. Doug Hamlin and Andrea Robinson share about why we cycle and who inspires us through the years!

Since 2013, Journey Along the Erie Canal has grown to include thousands of individuals with disabilities, community leaders, and allies who meet John and his team, cheer them on, and even cycle alongside them.
