No Bacon. What About Burritos? 60 Miles to Shenandoah

Bacon Rides may be done for 2010, but what about a ride out to Shenandoah, Iowa for Mexican fare and Coronas?

My bike riding brother, who went from 300 pounds to 175 in only 10 months (no joke) by riding bikes, will be in town next week, and I want to show him a good time. I'm planning a Sunday ride out to Shenandoah and back. Of course, you're invited!

With the crisp morning air, autumn leaves, and warm afternoons, this is an awesome time of year for long rides down the Wabash.

Last Chance for Bacon Ride in 2010

Bacon Ride anyone?

This Sunday, September 26, is the last day that the Platte River State Park restaurant will be open for visitors. That means that it's the last chance for a Bacon Ride until next season.

Who? Anyone who wants to ride 74 miles of mixed bike paths, street and gravel for an all-you-can eat breakfast. Bring $10 for the buffet and a tip.

When and where? Meet at 6:30am Sunday at the Wohlner's in Aksarben Village. We should be back in Omaha by 1pm.

How? See the following maps and cue sheets for the routes:

• 33 miles from Omaha to PRSP
• 41 miles from PRSP to Omaha

The pace will be relaxed, and we'll try not to leave anyone behind. However, know your route and have a contingency to get home, just in case. Be prepared to fix a flat. Bring nutrition and hydration in case the ride goes long. It may be cool in the morning and warm in the afternoon.

Despite the Bacon Ride name, there are many options for vegetarians. :)

Thanks to MOD for the original Bikely map, on which this route is based.

change of plans 2:30 jewell bring your climbing legs

Another try

So the much to do about CIRREM didn't happened(looking at the pictures it was right call). Rain crappy weather made that decision easy enough. This weekend looks a lot better and much drier with two offerings for you

• March 14th PCL's Lincoln-Milford-Lincoln
• March 15th MTB Enduro

I will be going Sunday or Saturday, if any one wants to go let me know.( 2-3 people) This one should be less stressful one week of DST under a belts. Cross bikes are welcomed at both events. Who knows maybe someone will not be guarding their Fargo :) and maybe I can use my quote I used on EB. just kidding just kidding...

MLK DAY RIDE

Well it looks like the cold wave will be over this weekend. I'm sure everyone will be scrambling to go and try to get more riding in after the brutal and cold week. Monday is a federal holiday there are some people( including me ...yes) that have day off from work or school. With temps in 40's on Monday i figured hey let go and ride.
Here the scoop for the Monday festivities

• Meet at 8:30 am @ Blue Line Downtown (coffee talk) leave around 9 am
• Hit up the trails on IA side as proposed by map
• Comeback through Bellevue bridge
• Go and get some food in south Omaha
  

Things of note:

• Dress appropriately
• Bring enough food/water
• Equipment to fix a flat
• Bring some cash you will need it to cross the Bellevue bridge (50 cent)
• This route is combination of gravel/pavement/trails/road
  

If are interested please let me know by calling me or leaving a comment on the blog. As promised here is the map of the route. Route and duration are subject to change....
