Now in its 22nd year, the Kool-Aid Classic Bicycle Tour navigates the scenic country roads surrounding the birthplace of Kool-Aid. Paved road options include distances of 20, 40 and 65 miles. All paved options include fully supported rest stops and roving support.
We also offer a 50 mile gravel option over rolling hills and minimum maintenance roads. The gravel option includes two rest stops, but no roving support.
Once again in honor of the completion of the Tour de France, we will be riding the trails of Lincoln. Wear your fanciest pants – or just any old riding gear – and join us at 9:00 AM at the 84th St MOPAC Trailhead. We will head north on the trails and circle downtown south to South Point 1424 Pine Lake Rd. for refreshments then we will go full circle up to 84th St via Old Cheney back to the 84th St Trailhead. Distance 28 miles/Pace: 10 – 12 MPH.
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! (Just be sure to take advantage of the SAG stops along the way!)
Our annual late August public ride will again start at the Strategic Air and Space Museum east of Ashland on Nebraska Highway 66 next to Mahoney State Park. The course consists of three loops: 24 miles, 35 miles, and 49 miles. You can combine these loops to get distances ranging from 24 to 108 miles. The routes explore the scenic Platte River valley between Louisville and Ashland and range as far west as Ceresco. Several SAG support stations and roving SAG vehicles will be provided. A registration form and map are available for download at our Heatstroke 100 page.
