Omaha - The inaugural Trek-WSD Breast Cancer Awareness ride attracted nearly 70 riders Saturday at the Trek Bicycle Store in Omaha.

Trek Bicycle Store Owner Kent McNeill said the turnout was the largest of the more than two dozen participating stores across the country. More than $1,400 was raised for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, he said.

Team Kaos' Sean Weide joined the cyclists as they rode from the Trek store to the Keystone Trail, then proceeded north on the trail five miles to Democracy Park, where food and refreshments were available. Riders then turned around and headed south, back to the store for more food, refreshments and prize raffles.

Each participant received a gift bag, which included a pink bottle cage, commemorative water bottle and a pair of special arm event-logoed arm warmers.

"We originally were only going to give arm warmers to the first 25 pre-registrants, but because we had so many people pre-register, Trek gave us enough arm warmers to give to everyone," said Trek store employee Mark Savery.
