Ride report: Omaha Corporate Cycling Challenge

[badgercat]

Thanks for reading! I've done and had a blast at bigger charity rides (MS, Diabetes), but this one was nice because it was less than $20 to register and there was no additional fundraising required--so no $$ pressure. The proceeds still benefited a good cause, though (local trails). So yeah, I definitely recommend trying to find local events to check out sometime. There's always a wide range of friendly folks riding! I saw people on road bikes, mountain bikes, tandems, hybrids... parents with kids (one dad had a kid on a rear seat plus two more in a trailer ), at all different paces. At one point I was briefly passed by a girl who couldn't have been older than 12--go girl! In my opinion, diversity = the most fun rides.

Sounds like a really fun ride, Badgercat. Were my eyes deceiving me or was someone in the background of that picture wearing a jacket??? How nice!

I think it was in the mid 60s while we were lining up, so there were some folks in long sleeves. I didn't notice too many people still wearing them out on the route, though, as the weather and the riders warmed up--they were tied around waists and top tubes instead.
