Greenstreet Papillion Shop
Join Greenstreet for a casual Ladies Ride! We‘ll be leaving from the Papillion Shop at 6:30pm and are planning to ride paved trails with some street crossings.

See you there!

There is great support from the City of Louisville and local businesses, especially Copple Chevrolet GMC (https://www.copplecars.com). To say thanks and to add a little fun, we will begin the race with a non-timed neutral rollout from downtown Louisville.
Copple Chevrolet GMC will have a neutral pace vehicle that will lead us out from their gravel lot near South Depot Street & Main Street (https://maps.app.goo.gl/AojUDbsPjybrFyme9).
Both the 50k and 100k distances will have a mass start together. The neutral rollout is 1 mile in distance and will give riders an opportunity to slot into a comfortable position before the passing through the start/finish arch and the first big climb of the day!
Official timing starts when you pass through the arch. You‘ll finish at Lilac Hill Event Center (https://www.thelilachill.com) when you pass through the arch again.
This does mean that you‘ll want to give yourself at least 10 minutes to take a nice leisurely spin back to town if you‘re parked at Lilac Hill. Look for more details coming soon about parking at Lilac Hill and other locations!
Flanagan Lake Playground Parking 41.320378, -96.187137 (south side of 174 & Ida) in NW Omaha.
Leave from the Flanagan Park Playground parking at 41.320378, -96.187137 in Northwest Omaha. (On the south side of 174th & Ida)
This is our first deviation from the traditionally South Omaha start and is a no drop ride on paved trail and friendly neighborhoods. The pace is moderate. We will loop around the north end of Flanagan Lake first and then head south down the north end of the West Papio trail toward Scooters on Maple St. For those who wish to just ride an out and back ride the return trip to Flanagan Lake will be about 12 mi. round trip but the route will take those looking for a longer ride and more adventure down through the Huntington Park Trail which offers many options for some ad hoc return trips.
Walnut Creek Recreation Area, Gravel Parking Lot off of Schram Road
Join Greenstreet for a Gravel Ride led by Jenni, our Shop Manager!
This is a Beginner Friendly Gravel Ride! If you have never ridden gravel before and you‘d like to give it a try, this ride is for you : )
We are planning on 6~ miles of Sarpy County gravel, with a small amount of pavement to get to the gravel and a few short paved road sections. This will be a No-Drop ride at a casual pace. We will have re-grouping stops along the way for water breaks and to talk about how to ride on gravel!
We‘ll be starting from the gravel parking lot at Walnut Creek Recreation Area. Take Schram Road between 96th and 108th Streets, turn north on Turkey Road (into the park), then it‘s the first lot on the right before you get to the boat docks. If you get to the docks, just turn around and it will be the only turn on your left before you exit the park. There‘s a restroom there if needed!
Helmets and front and rear lights are REQUIRED. Sunset will be about 7:30pm. Bring 1-2 filled water bottles.

We didn’t get a chance to dedicate the repair stand on the Steamboat Trace Trail last year because of the Hopken Vortex, so we’ll plan for a sunny spring day in Peru in April.
You can ride any or all of the 40 miles of the Steamboat Trace Trail, or journey off on some gravel for a route of around 50 miles.
This is a very low key, show and go, social ride. While there could a sighting of “The Better Hopken”, please plan on being responsible for yourself.
There is a grocery store and restaurant in Peru as well as a coffee and ice cream shop in Brownsville.
Routes are tentative. We may update the gravel routes south of Peru to add in a cemetery or two if weather allows.

Okay, time to slide into another year. The Slide Ride is a weekly ride on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 pm, during the late Spring through Early fall, departing from Stinson Park (Aksarben Village in Omaha) and riding the trails.

The Slide Ride will start, Wednesday, April 24th, at 6:30 pm., from Stinson Park, Aksarben, and continue each Wednesday until the end of September. Riders must have a bike, wear a helmet, and have hydration. No children please. We ride 10-15 miles at a leisurely pace, and those who choose convene at Pauli‘s for adult beverages.

Welcome to Mimosas on The MoPac!
Come join us for a fun and relaxing morning on the MoPac Trail. Sip on delicious mimosas at our turn-around point while enjoying the beautiful scenery and fresh air. This event is the perfect way to unwind and socialize with friends on a Sunday morning.
2 route options- 22 miles and roughly 10 miles. Casual pace and no drop! Since the trail is crushed limestone and can be soft in spots leave the skinny tire road bikes at home and grab that gravel, mountain, hybrid or pedal assist e-bike with tires at least 35mm wide. For the 22 mile option plan on rolling out at 10 am from the parking lot on the south side of Platteview Rd just east of Hwy 50 (look for the TREK van!) If you prefer the 10 mile option, park at the trailhead by the river which is on Hwy 31 just west of Hwy 50, on the south side. We will roll out from that lot approximately `10:45 am.
Our turn around point will be the Lied River Bridge, where we will enjoy some refreshing mimosas (non alcholic options too!) and snacks, before heading back to the trailhead.
Signed waiver and helmets required.
