Record turn out this year for nighttime ride

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — One sponsor of Omaha’s nighttime bicycle ride expects record turnout for the Saturday event.

The University of Nebraska Medical Center says well over 2,000 bike riders are expected to participate in Omaha’s annual Owl Ride.

The 14-mile ride is the largest annual night bicycle ride between Chicago and Denver.

Proceeds go to the Meyer Foundation for Disabilities, which supports social and recreational programs for people with developmental disabilities in the Omaha area.

The cost to register is $30 for individuals and $60 for families. Participants may register at www.owlride.org through Friday. Riders may also register in person on Saturday, although it will cost more.
