Velo/Greenstreet ride blazed new trail thru the heart of Offutt AFB
About 30 roadies met at Blue Line downtown on Sunday. A command decision was made to launch towards Offutt AFB in hopes of seeing some flying warbirds and, perchance, to actually pedal into the airshow. It happened!
We pedaled west to Memorial Park, Elmwood Park, scared some commoners as we invaded the Farmer's Market in Aksarben Village. Boogied down the Keystone and pitstopped at Culver's. Then journeyed to Capehart Road, and proceeded unimpeded into Offutt. Led by Colonel Matt O'Donnell and retired Air Forcer Tim Ihry, we stopped for photo right near the airshow. Alas, thunder rumbled so we opted to cruise instead of stay. Pedaled around the runway, hit the cobbles in Bellevue. Soon thereafter the heavens opened and we were nuked. Otherwise, a fantastic day for biking. Join us next week, same bat time, same bat channel. No feeble excuses accepted. El Guapo Supreme.
