WNY Regional Director Lou Reuter is saying that New York State has reversed its decision on funding for the Empire State Games. This is exciting news, but presents a few issues.

With the news of cancellation, some of these dates have been grabbed in certain regions for other USA Cycling events, including here in WNY.
