The 27-mile ride is expected to draw bicyclists from across the Omaha metropolitan area as well as from Boulder, Colo., Kansas City, Iowa City, Sioux City and Le Mars. The ride begins at 8 a.m. at the legendary local drive-in restaurant, Christy Creme, at 2853 North Broadway.

Council Bluffs Mayor Tom Hanafan will start the procession around the city's extensive trail system, which encircles 95 percent of the city's perimeter, including a few streets in the northeast quadrant of town, where the trails do not connect.

Omaha, Neb. - Team Kaos was well-represented in what was believed to be Nebraska's largest-ever single-day bike tour event.

Team members Mark Brackenbury, Matt Carlson, Steve Griffin, Ian Gray, Jimmy Kingman, Jason Kingsbury, Dr. Bud Shaw, Chris Spence, Marco Vasquez and Zac Piatt sported their full team kits for the charity ride while Steve Cramer, Gary Schmidt and Doug Semisch proudly represented Team Kaos' bike shop sponsor, Bike Masters, in the shops' green, black and white jerseys.

All were among the estimated 2,500 bicyclists who participated in the 16th annual Corporate Cycling Challenge Sunday in Downtown Omaha. Proceeds from the annual fundraiser benefit the Eastern Nebraska Trails Network.

Omaha - Team Kaos helped children learn how to ride their bicycle safely during the Omaha Police Department's Southeast Precinct Bike Rodeo and Open House Sunday, June 11.

In addition to helping youngsters learn how to use proper hand signals and improve their riding skills, Team Kaos members performed free bike inspections. One of the team's sponsors, UVEX, donated a dozen helmets to give away to children who needed one.

More than 500 children attended the four-hour event at the Southeast Precinct at 25th and Deer Park Blvd. In addition to the bike rodeo, face painting and animals from the Nebraska Humane Society were also part of the event.

Skies threatening rain hovered over the start of the 2006 Life-A-Thon Saturday. But, for the most part, the rain stayed away during the Nebraska Medical Center's annual ride to raise awareness for organ and tissue donation.

Members of Team Kaos took time out from their training and racing schedule to provide support for the ride, along with team bike shop sponsor, Bike Masters. This year's ride covered more than 40 miles in and around Sarpy County and the Chalco Hills State Recreation Area at Wehrspann Lake.
