Congratulations to everyone who participated in Bike To Work Week! Bike commuting is it’s own reward, but it’s always nice to be recognized for it. Keep up the good work. Also to those who got to bike in the Run-Bike-Run for the Prairie Corridor, it was a great event.

Another great event coming up is Trail Trek. Coming June 25, this ride is sponsored by the Great Plains Trails Network. New this year is the starting point at Speedway Village, 345 Speedway Circle. Also new- singletrack! Education will be provided about how to handle some of the more technical aspects like rocks, roots, and logs, and even a few jumps and drops. Four routes will incorporate the new GPTN connector bridge. The five routes from 11 to 41 miles and including different surfaces and skill levels means there’s something for everyone. In the past 21 years Trail Trek has raised over $360,000 for trails in and around Lincoln.
