If you’re available from 10:30am till 3:00pm tomorrow, you can bring your bike here, and participate in the second annual Spooks On Spokes ride. The ride/race will take place throughout this general area.
Similar to an Alleycat race, this event incorporates all types of urban and suburban riding. Part of the adventure is the unknown. You won't know what you're in for until the race begins. Expect mildly difficult terrain, mileage and challenges. Terrain will be mixed, therefor road, mountain or comfort bikes will work. Expect the unexpected, but expect the event to last between 2 and 4 hours depending on your skills.
The event starts after each person is given a manifest. The manifest consists of a list of checkpoints they must find. There will be a 15-minute period to ask questions before the race begins. Each item on the manifest will be revealed after solving a puzzle or riddle. After studying the manifest all participants are released at 11-AM to begin the adventure. Event ends at 3:00-pm Sharp! Categories are: Teams of 2, Geared and Fixed/Single Speed bikes. Participants choosing to compete as a team must remain within 50-feet of one another at all times. Halloween costumes are encouraged, but not expected or required. Your choice.
Be sure to check out the official website for all the details.
Get out there and Bike Omaha.

As the event organizer I can tell you that this year will be a ton of fun. Competitors at last years event seemed to thouroughly enjoy themselves. This year will have even more challenges and checkpoints as well as a few twists. Another change to this year's event is that there is no mandatory entry fee. The race is FREE! If you have fun and feel like contributing to the race fund to cover expenses, then donations are being accepted. We have a lot of great prizes from the Bike Way and High Gear bikes shops as well as PowerBar. I hope to see you all there! For more details see https://spooksonspokes.blogspot.com
