It was a chilly Sunday fall morning and the riders were out in force.
Known as one of the best rides in the Midwest, the Octoginta is always a great end-of-season ride. The Lawrence Bicycle Club prides itself in going the extra mile to provide the best SAGs and support along with the gorgeous fall foliage that combined for a great ride.
Here’s some pix of the SAG stopped we took care of.
The Watkins Community Museum is hosting a bike tour of East Lawrence from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. Oct. 20.
The tour will explore the history of the city’s oldest established neighborhood and the architecture and culture of the area. Stops will be made at historic buildings, including a visit to the Free State Brewery bottling plant.
Participants must be at least 15 years old and have a bike capable of traveling on brick streets. The tour is a recreational ride, and pre-tour tire and brake checks will be provided by Sunflower Outdoor & Bike Shop. The cost is $20 per participant or $10 for Douglas County Historical Society members.

Van Go, Inc. is this year’s recipient of an artfully designed bike rack sponsored by the Lawrence Central Rotary Club. The ribbon cutting for the bike rack will be held Thursday, September 27 at 4 pm at Van Go, 715 New Jersey.
The rack, funded by LiveWell Lawrence, was designed by Rockhill and Associates and was envisioned to complement the building’s architecture. The racks include concrete bases with steel tops with to secure the bicycles. The design was fabricated over the summer and was installed in August.
The new rack will be highly used by the Van Go’s teens, which frequently use bikes for transportation to and from their work at Van Go. Biking gives the teens independence as well as helping to instill healthy living habits.
This is event is free and open to the public.
