\"pictureA reminder to you cyclists, the medical center needs your help on Aug. 16 as it attempts to win the Corporate Cycling Challenge title back from Union Pacific. <\/p>\n

Last year, Union Pacific riders logged 7,898 points to win the title. Medical center cyclists were credited for 6,903 points to take second place. The medical center had won the title the previous year. <\/p>\n

Participants may choose to ride the Olde River Ride (10 miles), Riverside Ride (25 miles) or Tour De Fort (42 miles). All tours begin and end at Omaha’s Heartland of America Park at 8th and Farnam streets.<\/p>\n

UNMC is counting on its cycling employees to come out in force on Aug. 16 to help the medical center reclaim the Corporate Cycling Challenge title.

\n<\/TABLE>The winner in each corporate division of the challenge is based on the number of total employee miles ridden. Like last year, miles logged by employee family members count half toward the organization’s total. <\/p>\n

A free picnic for medical center cyclists that includes hot dogs, hamburgers and chicken breasts will follow at Miller’s Landing on the Missouri River just north of the finish line. <\/p>\n
