On June 21, a record number of cyclists will take on the 30th Tour de Nebraska, which begins in St. Paul.
The 480 cyclists will then travel to Loup City, Broken Bow and Ord in a five-day span.
It is a noncompetitive cycle tour that has representatives of all ages and 24 states.
“Our cyclists like the size of Tour de Nebraska because it’s big enough to meet some new people, but small enough not to overwhelm the communities we visit,” Susan Rodenburg, the co-founder and event director said. "We have families, school teachers, busy executives and others who all share a passion for cycling and adventure. They can ride all day at their own speed so they can take full advantage of sightseeing and food in the small communities along the way. By the time the tour ends, we’re all bonded in one way or another.”
