Trail to fashion on the table

May 7, 2012

As a break from my usual anti-useful, seldom coherent ramblings, I have concocted (albeit quite hastily) a table based on my measurements of most of the fairly local multi use trails as depicted upon the Activate Omaha trail map. This is also a big departure from my usual love of lists. Let's see how this goes.
　

Trail	Mileage (approximate)
Keystone/Bellevue Loop (combined)	27
Big Papio	9
West Papio (Halleck Park section/south)	5.5
West Papio (Huntington Park section/north)	6.5
Omaha Riverfront (north section)	7.5
Omaha Riverfront (south section)	4.7
144th Street	5.5
Highway 50 (to Springfield)	5
Zorinsky Lake	6.5
Chalco Hill/Wehrspahn Lake	6
Walnut Creek Lake (and associated trails)	4.5
Happy Hollow	2.5
Adams Park	2
Sorenson Parkway	1.3
Field Club	2
Standing Bear Lake	4.5
Ralston Trail	2

　
Not too bad. I forgot to measure the Big Papio, but I can tell you that it's big. (BS note - there, I had to go upstairs to get that map back.  I hope you appreciate it! )  So I guess that makes about 102 miles.  Suck on that wikipedia!

Now that that's out of the way, I've got a serious series of questions for you: Do you like bicycles? Fashion? An excuse to get out of work early on Friday? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then here is an event that you might enjoy. Yes, it is actually a bicycle fashion show! This Friday! (Just noticed I was a week off on this, it apparently occurred today (18/5/2012)!  I am anticipating a call soon to model my unforgettable yellow jersey (I know you've tried, but you can't, can you?!).

I am actually predicting clothes that don't really look like bicycle-oriented clothes, I may actually have to show up just to find out!

Glad we got this all out on the table. Bon jus, sil vous plais!
