Ride Description

Come to Lawrence, Kansas, October 4-5

and join the Lawrence Bicycle Club and hundreds of other cyclists for the traditional wind-up event of the year. Sign up early, entrance is limited to the first 1,000 riders. In its 39th year, the Octoginta is truly a fall classic. So come join the festivities this fall. It’s never been better!

Known as one of the best rides in the Midwest, the 2008 Octoginta promises another great end of season ride. The Lawrence Bicycle Club prides itself in going the extra mile to give you the best SAGs and support along with the gorgeous fall foliage that combine for a ride you’ll never forget.
The Sunflower Bike Shop and all of the Sunflower employees will again be providing a full breakfast with all of the trimmings at their expense as a part of their sponsorship of Octoginta. You won't want to skip this SAG unless you were hoping to lose weight on the ride.

The Octoginta lunch SAG, located at the end of the ride, features a hearty minestrone soup that satisfies vegetarians and meat lovers alike.
