It was a chilly Sunday fall morning and the riders were out in force.
Known as one of the best rides in the Midwest, the Octoginta is always a great end-of-season ride. The Lawrence Bicycle Club prides itself in going the extra mile to provide the best SAGs and support along with the gorgeous fall foliage that combined for a great ride.
Here’s some pix of the SAG stopped our members staffed that morning. Thanks to Qualseths, Huesemanns, and the Brenners!
Van Go, Inc. is this year’s recipient of an artfully designed bike rack sponsored by the Lawrence Central Rotary Club. The ribbon cutting for the bike rack will be held Thursday, September 27 at 4 pm at Van Go, 715 New Jersey.
The rack, funded by LiveWell Lawrence, was designed by Rockhill and Associates and was envisioned to complement the building’s architecture. The racks include concrete bases with steel tops with to secure the bicycles. The design was fabricated over the summer and was installed in August.
The new rack will be highly used by the Van Go’s teens, which frequently use bikes for transportation to and from their work at Van Go. Biking gives the teens independence as well as helping to instill healthy living habits.
This is event is free and open to the public.

Several members from Lawrence Central welcomed our incoming Rotary President Ron Burton while joining the 300+ attendees of the Zone Institute (Zone is the level above the district and the Institute is a gathering of regional Rotarian leaders) from Mexico to Canada.
It was a great event to see a broader vision of worldwide Rotary and what Mr. Burton has planned for his term in office.

Earlier this summer Rotarian Penny Dash who is past president and current secretary from the Cypress California Rotary Club was in town visiting friends and decided to stop in and visit Lawrence Central. She told us about her club and what they do and we did the traditional trading of rotary banners. There was one snafu – she didn't have any of hers. Well last week we were happy when we opened the mail bag and sure enough Penny had sent one long.
