Everesting Cycling Fest is a day-long New Hope Community Bikes fundraiser on Fifty Road Hill. Solo riders and teams complete repeated climbs of the Niagara Escarpment toward a mountain-elevation goal, with options ranging from a single Try-A-Climb to a full summit challenge. Registration currently ranges from $25 to $115, depending on the challenge.
