In recent years, rides for the Great Plains Bicycling Club have been oriented towards touring and recreational riding, not training for racing.  Our Club rides have varied in length from less than 20 miles to usually 50-70 miles with occasional centuries, but the pace is not at a hard training pace.  Plus, the Club doesn't sponsor any competitive events.

It is certainly possible that the Club could add some faster paced rides suitable for training and identify them as such, but we'd need to have the riders interested in having them.  If you are interested in doing something of this nature, please review the page that explains how our rides are selected and then contact our Ride Director.

Our page that identifies all the local cycling organizations that we know of contains references to some that are engaged in racing.  In addition, the www.NebraskaCyling.org site contains a wealth of information on racing teams and events in and near Nebraska.  Check it out if cycle racing is your interest.
