Omaha Connect Ride - September 22, 2018
The Omaha Connect Ride will offer area cyclists the opportunity to do a ride with others in Western Douglas County. There will be three different routes and length of rides, and open to all skill levels. It will be SAGGED with refreshment stops, fully marked routes. Routes will be mostly flat. In addition, we will have a motivational speaker sharing his story and how he found a route to recovery through cycling after a terrible boating accident.
Cycling is a way to connect with others that have a similar passion. The opportunity to network before during and after the ride is another way to connect with people. Plus, with our Guest Speaker, you can connect with him to overcome life’s challenges, which we hope will be inspiring to you.
