Links - cycling organizations, trails, and other relevant and irrelevant links

We want this to be a website that people in Lincoln and Nebraska can rely upon for cycling information of a noncompetitive nature. We want to know of any Nebraska-area rides that aren't in our list of rides. If you are aware of a ride (other than one that is racing-related) that is not listed, please contact the webmaster. We'll add it in a jiffy. (We have nothing at all against racing, but there is another website that keeps on top of this much better than we do.)

Firecracker 50

Held in conjunction with Seward, Nebraska's 4th of July Celebration, the Firecracker 50 is a lightly supported bicycle ride open to the public, without charge, sponsored by the Great Plains Bicycling Club. Lightly supported means that a SAG support station with water supplies and a limited selection of snack foods will be provided along the route. 22-mile and 51-mile routes explore paved roads between Seward and Brainard. The rides start at 7:30 AM at the Hillcrest Evangelical Church, 1300 West Hillcrest, Seward NE. At the conclusion of the ride, the municipal pool showers will be available without charge for those wishing to freshen up and change clothes (bring your own towel). All ages are welcome.

Heatstroke 100

Hot and humid in August? You bet! But Nebraska cyclists have endured the heat and pedaled in scorching sun time and time again. What better way to beat the heat than to ride in the Heatstroke 100 — if you dare! The 2009 Heatstroke 100 ride will be Sunday August 23rd. Details will be forthcoming later in the year, but in the meantime check out last year's brochure and map.
