Route: All routes are on paved roads, which are selected for safety and lower traffic counts with the help of the Nebraska State Patrol and Nebraska Department of Roads. Unfortunately, not all Nebraska roads have shoulders. Usually, however, the shoulderless roads have less traffic. Daily route maps are provided.

Training: People of all abilities have ridden and enjoyed Tour de Nebraska. To enhance your experience, however, we recommend that you train by riding 3-4 times a week, 20-30 miles each ride, with at least one longer ride (60-70 miles), at least 4 weeks in advance of the tour. A multi-speed, lightweight bike in dependable working order is a must. Many participants use mountain bikes rigged with slick tires and bar ends. Nebraska weather can be finicky, so be prepared for anything!
