I had a chance to attend some of the events yesterday at “Pedal the Plains,” a bicycle ride that mirrors the “Ride the Rockies” event in Colorado. The idea is to highlight the beauty of the plains and get more people out there to enjoy it. It’s a goal that we share here at Great Plains Trail Alliance. Below are some photos of the events, as well as some from my trip out there. Enjoy!

Great Plains Trail Alliance was formed from an inspiration that began in 1991 when founder Steve Myers took a trip from Minnesota to Wyoming. On the way, he was struck by the beauty of the open spaces west of the Missouri River. He wanted a way to experience this landscape more fully. Not long after, the seed of an idea for the Great Plains Trail was planted.

We’ll be riding to support EOC and we’ll be riding to bring visibility to Colorado’s Touchstone Energy Cooperatives. And we’ll be enjoying the vast blue skies and unending vistas of the eastern plains. So if you happen to encounter a bunch of bicyclists in “Powering the Plains” jerseys give us a “thumbs-up” as you pass (slowly) by.
