The Story
The 29er Trifecta is a 29 mile boulevard tour of Omaha held every leap year on February 29th and ridden on 29er bicycles.In 1889, Horace Cleveland proposed a grand park and boulevard system for Omaha. One hundred years and miles later, the parks and boulevards are stilll key to Omaha cycling life.
Join in on Friday, February 29th, 6:29 PM at the Trek Bicycle Store for the first leap year 29er Trifecta.
It's 29 miles.
It's on the 29th
You better be riding a 29er, if you don't have a 29er then you better bring a fixie, if you don't have a fixie, well...you can still come but you have to make 29 sacrifices to the 29er godfathers, Wes Williams, Steve Potts, Gary Fisher, do I need to list more?
Saddle up, it's year one, be a charter member...

Sign me up.
First... nice photos on the old school O. What's the deal w/ 29 sacrifices, though? Would 700cc wheels do?
Nice! I dig what you've worked up here! You must get to spend most of your days thinking of stuff like this. I'm in.
You ride whatever you like ajb.
The route is going to be freakin' sweet under street lights.
Well, I have that day off and have appointments with the dentist and optometrist, but now I'm thinking I should head to Omaha. Great idea!
You gotta make it Cornbread. You're always asking me how I like Omaha. This loop has a lot to do with my answer. The neighborhoods we ride through are sweet. We got floor space too.
Here is a visual aid for those who are maply inclined. I took some liberty with the route as I did this on a whim and I also added the 2 stops at the "watering holes." That is why the route shows as 30.98 miles and not 29. Sorry Mod.
i oppose the idea that a fixie is a substitute for a 29er. think of the riffraff it will attract.
oh emily.
Wow,
A very nice idea.
Cornbread, what time would you be leaving for the big O and what time would you be on the road to come back home from this event?
I am looking for someone to ride with that has a bike rack. My problem is that I work early AM on March 1st.
Peace out
Why is the ride not starting at 6:29? And yes I will be on a fixxie. Now you know what kind of riff raff it will attract.
Can I crash on your floor Mod?
Anyone want to buy a sweet 29'r?
