The UK Red Empire State 500 is an epic cycling adventure that will see 20 intrepid riders take the road less travelled from Niagara Falls to downtown Manhattan.

Leaving Niagara on Sunday May 3, the riders will spend the next six days covering 500 miles through the state of New York, following the Erie Canal, Iroquois River and Apalachian trail on their way to the Big Apple. And we don't mean Bramley...

It's going to be a massive test of their fitness, their stamina and their resolve - and they're doing it all to help a charity that strives to make a positive difference to the lives of people involved at every level of Rugby League.
