Tour de Nebraska is a five-day (Wednesday-Sunday) circle tour, which means riders enjoy the convenience of starting and ending at the same place. The TDN is limited to 500 riders, which allows for meaningful interaction between riders and the quaint communities they visit. Daily mileage ranges from 45-70 miles, making the TDN an especially perfect multi-day tour for first-timers or seasoned veterans.

Founded in 1988, Tour de Nebraska provides a fun way for cyclists to experience the beauty and friendliness of rural Nebraska. People of all ages from nearly every part of the world have ridden Tour de Nebraska.

The 2022 ride took place last week, June 22 - 26, with the theme “The Year of the Sandhills”. The ride began in Loup City, with overnight stops in Broken Bow and Ord along with visits to several communities along the way. One of those stops was Callaway, who hosted the large group of cyclists on Thursday, June 23.

The bikes began arriving around 8:30 Thursday morning, and the group took advantage of an opportunity to rest and refuel with lunch before hitting the road again. The Callaway Chamber and a host of community volunteers once again rolled out the welcome mat.
