Registration is still open for the fifth annual OwL Ride, Omaha’s nighttime urban cycling adventure set for 10 p.m. on Saturday, July 12. This year’s ride offers bikers a choice of courses, a family-friendly 8-mile short course and 16-mile extended route, making the OwL Ride a fun and active experience for riders of all ages. This year’s ride also features a new starting point, a return to Lewis and Clark Landing on Omaha’s riverfront. There will be both pre- and post-ride entertainment, food and the annual Bright Bikes bike decorating contest.
The ride benefits the Meyer Foundation for Disabilities, which supports much-needed services for adults with disabilities in the Omaha metro area. Many of the programs are offered through the professional staff of the University of Nebraska Medical Center’s Munroe-Meyer Institute, a renowned service provider in our area. Go to omahadisabilities.org to learn more about MFD’s work and mission. Major sponsors of the OwL ride include Metro Credit Union and WOWT-Channel 6.
