The Nebraska vs Ohio State football game is on Saturday, October 8th. I'm guessing it's that afternoon.

Yikes! I did a cut/paste for this and must have left out the part with the date! I've updated the post, but you are right, it is Saturday, October 8. It will be a fun event - I hope you will join us!!

If the weather doesn't permit the rides at Swanson, we'll be sure to update this page before 3pm so that those who were going to do the Swanson ride can make the Lucky Bucket tour instead as an option. THOR doesn't permit riding on muddy trails (plus it's not very fun).
