SUCCESS!

Wow! 68 riders, a third of whom tackled and defeated the century to claim their Culligan jerseys! Awesome support by Culligan, help from the Cozad Chamber and Good Life Cycles (me), great breakfast by John Jordening, awesome photos from Paul Pack and Ryan and Leslie Trullinger, a mighty fine job on the t-shirts by Brooks Screenprinting, a few hiccups on my part but it mostly went GREAT! I want to thank everyone so much for participating in our first annual event! Everyone did a fantastically amazing job pushing themselves! Weather was awesome too!

I wanted to let you know that you put on a very fine event on the 18th. The route presented some fine challenges and excellent scenery. You, your help, and the city of Cozad were very gracious hosts. Your hospitality and that of the folks manning your SAG stations was greatly appreciated. My only regret is that I was unable to stay for post-ride festivities. Perhaps next year. Thank you much. Sincerely, Gary Monter

Check www.GoodLifeCycles.com/Facebook for links to many of the photos! We're already planning next years hoping to have some major sponsors for LOTS of prizes and giveaway goodies! Next year wouldn't be possible without all of you who came this year!

Route Maps

If you guys use MapMyRide at all, here are the routes. You can get them on your smart phone using the app even. I'll have some printouts that morning but they won't be anything too special so if you're more comfortable with your own cues, make away!

50 miler
100 miler

Prizes and Super Soaker Mayhem!

There will be a few various prizes donated by area businesses giving out for some kind of random reasons. Brill Chiropractic was the first to offer a prize but not the only one, I will list the rest as time draws nearer. These prizes will be awarded for a few semi-random reasons. Just an example something like "oldest bicycle being ridden". Should be fun!

 There's also rumors of a vehicle with super soakers that will be roaming around the course giving riders a cool down if they give the signal they are overheating!

Ride Updates!

Are you ready TO RIDE?!

It's getting close and things are getting more and more exciting! Here's a little update:

• We may end up pushing 50 registrations (may not be much but I would be extremely excited to see 50 bikes here!) People from hailing Seward to Ogallala and up north from Cairo and Hyannis!
• Breakfast will be available in two flavors, fresh fruit smoothies from Juice Plus+ and I believe these will be free AND/OR a local caterer will be set up providing a free hot breakfast! Plan accordingly and show up early to get fueled up! Breakfast should be set up by 6:45 am at the latest.
• With the mention of breakfast, I will set up at an earlier check-in time of 6:30am at the shop to give you plenty of time to eat and prepare.
• We are working on possibly asking Lucky Chuck's in Eustis to open specially for us for those doing the 100 miler since they will be passing there around lunch time. Please let me know if there's any interest so I can try to tell him it will be worth his time!
• I just want to re-iterate the donation of the jerseys by Gordon Sanders of Culligan for those who complete the 100 mile route! You will not receive the jerseys the day of the ride but they will be specially ordered and mailed out to you about 6 weeks after. Make sure we snag your size before the end of the day!
• If you need a place to stay, let me know! I will provide my yard for tent camping and we have an apartment with 2 beds that we can provide so this will all be available first come first serve!

I want to emphasize my thank you to Culligan of Cozad who will be providing the jersey donations and patrolling the route with ICE COLD H2O!

If you haven't registered yet, don't fret about the t-shirts! We will get you one!

Online registration is now available for your convenience but there is an extra service charge added. Register online now!
