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?
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?
