The official start of NUMB 2012 is the Saturday evening Rider’s Meeting, but for those arriving early to Beatrice, there will be an optional pre-NUMB loop ride on Saturday morning of approximately 39 miles that includes a visit to Homestead National Monument. The route this year will take us to Southeast Nebraska and Northeast Kansas.  This is an area where the last vestiges of the eastern hardwood forests give way to the tall grass prairies of the Great Plains.  Native Americans settled in the area because of an abundance of water, game, and plant life necessary for their subsistent lifestyle.  The trails of early pioneers crossed the area as they headed to western lands.  It is also where the first white settlers to Kansas and Nebraska found the building blocks for communities.  As you pedal the rolling hills and through villages, take time to visualize what was, what is, and what may be yet to come. The United Methodist Churches of Beatrice & Auburn, Nebraska, Sabetha & Marysville, Kansas  will be our hosts and arrange for breakfast and evening meals for purchase and showers and camping spaces in their communities. Registration information will contain a listing of motels available in host towns. SAGs with water and snacks will be located every 10-12 miles. Riders will be responsible for purchasing lunch in towns we pass through on the route.
