| Event Details
The Lucky Bucket Ride, an annual festival of bikes and beers, returns to Omaha on Friday September 21st at 7:00pm. This festival was organized by Lucky Bucket Brewing Company of La Vista, Nebraska to celebrate biking. Similar to the wide variety of beers they offer, the Lucky Bucket Ride was designed for riders of all sorts: the daily commuter, the weekend warrior, the road racer, the once-a-year rider, and the mountain biker. The Lucky Bucket Ride includes a fun ride around Chalco Hills and an after party behind the brewery, to benefit Make-A-Wish Nebraska and Omaha Bikes.
The fun ride will begin at 7 p.m as hundreds sport their "bike" at the Chalco Hills Recreation area. Riders will start at the Natural Resources Center and then bike around the beautiful Wehrspann Lake, a 245 acre lake with a concrete bike path surrounding it. The bike path is surrounded by 940 acres of beautiful outdoor scenery. The ride will consist of two laps around the scenic lake for a total of 12 miles. Once the ride is over, bikers can go the brewery (2 miles away) for an after party.
Lucky Bucket encourages colorful and creative costumes, the crazier the better. Also encouraged are bikes of all sorts: street bikes, tandem bikes, mountain bikes, cruisers, tricycles, unicycles, big wheels... if you can pedal it 12 miles then bring it! There will be prizes for craziest costume and most unique "bikes". Adults are encouraged to be as joyful and carefree as children for the day.

Distance: 12+ miles (depends on how many laps around Wehrspann Lake)
