With the success of the
11th Annual Wear Yellow Ride, the theme for this year reflects the support that
each cyclist will give to our Wear Yellow Cab Ride Program. The fee for each
rider on the Wear Yellow Ride will support TWO
cab rides for a Nebraska cancer patient who may not have adequate
transportation to get to their treatments.
Wear Yellow Nebraska will be hosting the 12th
Annual Wear Yellow Ride, Fun Run & Walk on Saturday, May 16, 2015 at the
Strategic Air & Space Museum, 28210 W Park Highway, Ashland, NE 68003. The event
aims to raise funds and awareness for
Wear Yellow Nebraska which is a local grassroots organization fighting against
cancer through advocacy, awareness and fundraising. We want to inspire others
in the community to take action in our fight. Our mission is to unite
Nebraskans in the fight against cancer through advocacy, awareness and
fundraising.
Everything closes at 1:00PM (courses and on course support,
Expo Area, Power Stops and the Pancake Man). Please choose a route that you can complete by this allotted time.

Virtual Riders:
Maybe you don’t ride a bike but know someone who does. Maybe you can’t ride
this year but still want to support our cause. We’ve made that easy too! You
can help support Wear Yellow Nebraska by registering as a Virtual
Rider/Runner/Walker. You don’t have to actually ride, run, or walk, just
support our organization and our event participants virtually.
The fee for Virtual
Riders/Runners/Walkers is $30. And just like our other participants, you will be
making a difference. The fee for each virtual rider also supports one cab ride through
our Wear Yellow Cab Ride Program for a cancer patient who may not have adequate
transportation to get to their treatments. Virtual Riders will also have the
same fundraising opportunities as our event participants, including setting up
your own fundraising team. You can register to become a Virtual Rider at any
time up to the day of the event.

Raffles
Everyone loves a raffle, and this year we’ve gone even bigger!
Bike
Raffle
This
year our Raffle Bike is the “Streaker” from Big Shot Bikes.
Featuring a raw, 4130 chromoly frame, polished with a
clear-coat finish, the Streaker has visible weld marks, accented by deep gold
components. The frame sticks to the Big Shot track bike style, with minimal
parts and components, giving the bike a super clean look. Nicknamed “Diamonds and
Rust” around the shop, each Streaker frame has an industrial feel. With surface
oxidation, scorch marks, and visible welds your Streaker will truly be one of
kind.
Legendary Raffle:
The Legendary Raffle gets its name from the
legendary items that have been up for the taking over the past five years. It
will start at 12:00 PM. We encourage you to browse our collection of amazing
raffle packages. Raffle tickets can be purchased and placed in the package
bucket of your choosing. Purchase as many raffle tickets as you like to
increase your chance of winning that package.
Post Ride Event:
Take your helmet off and stay awhile. Riders are
encouraged to stick around after the ride for breakfast by the Pancake Man, our
legendary raffle, and dozen of door prizes. Each paid registration will be
granted free access to the museum following the event. If you have hungry family
or friends who did not ride or run, they can purchase a breakfast from the
Pancake Man for $5 each.
Power-Stops:
Need some food? Need
some drink? Need some power? We’ve
got you covered! All rides are on public roads and fully supported with water,
Gatorade, and a variety of food at our Power-Stops. Check the course map for
Power-Stop locations along your route.
On-Course Support:
Your bike is in great hands. Trek Bicycle
Stores Omaha/Papillion, The Bike Way, and The
Bike Rack are on board when you need support. They will
be providing mechanical assistance to riders at various locations throughout
the day. This includes how to change a tire, pump a tire, and perform minor
drive train adjustments to keep you rolling to the finish.
Proceeds:
Your participation is
making a difference. 100% of our proceeds support Wear Yellow Nebraska’s cancer
fighting and cancer patient assistance programs. This event specifically
supports the Wear Yellow Cab Ride Program and the Wear Yellow Grant Program
(see www.wearyellownebraska.org for more details).
