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.
Please see this link for more details.

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:
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.

Saturday Morning Option
If anyone is interested in riding Saturday Morning you just might be in luck. T-bone has paved/gravel/single track option for anyone interested. Here is the tentative plan. Meet up at ped bridge @ 8:30 am ride to Manawa via combination paved/gravel roads Take a spin around manawa single track and head home. Milage should be about 25-30 miles weapons of choice cx/mtb bike. There will be some singletrack action so 28mm slicks might be a bit of a challenge. Get a hold of me if you need any other info.
