(KLZA)-- The Falls City Chamber of Commerce is making preparations for the Bicycle Ride Across Nebraska.
Falls City Chamber of Commerce and Main Street Executive Director Amber Holle provided some of the details to the Falls City Council last week.
Falls City has been selected as the starting point for the ride, which begins Sunday June 4. Riders and support staff will begin arriving in Falls City on Friday, June 2.
Some riders will be doing a ride into Kansas, Missouri and back to Falls City on Saturday before their weeklong journey begins Sunday.
The Council approved several requests from the Chamber. Riders will be tent camping in Pioneer Park. 17th and 18th Streets will be blocked off between Towle and Barada Streets while the riders are in town.
As of last week, 300 bicyclists and around 100 support personnel were expected to be in Falls City to start the annual event.
A number of area organizations are helping out by providing food for the riders and support staff at Prichard Auditorium
