(KNZA)--Participates in the 24th annual Biking Across Kansas tour will make a stop in Hiawatha Friday morning.
Hiawatha Chamber of Commerce Administrator Deidra Leander says the city has been designated as a meal stop for the ride.
Leander says the about 850 bicyclists and support staff will be coming through Hiawatha between 7:00 and 11:00 that morning.
She requested and received approval from the Brown County Commission last week for use of the courthouse square as a location for the participants to gather.
Leander says she plans to set up a welcome booth, with information about local meal options, shopping and community attractions.
The bicyclists will be traveling from Sabetha to Troy that day.
Marysville, Sabetha and Troy have been designated as overnight stops on the ride.
The nearly 500-mile ride begin Saturday at the Kansas-Colorado line west of St. Francis and is to end this Saturday at the banks of the Missouri River in Elwood.
