Bicyclists
favor YMCA’s Prairie 55 Art
and Balloon Festival route
Saturday
On Saturday morning bicyclists
arrived at the YMCA sponsored
Prairie 55 Bike Ride start site on
Wyatt Ave. starting about 8 a.m.
There to sign in and welcome the
riders at the YMCA facility on Wyatt
Ave. were Chris Cicci, sports and
activity director, and Jan Schacht,
executive director.
Bike riders who arrived for the bike ride
were Rick Hobler, Dale and Susan Bassi,
Denise Ismari and Michael Graves. Hobler
arrived first that morning.

The bicyclists favored the shorter, family friendly
festival route of the Prairie 55 on Saturday
morning, perhaps due to high heat and humidity
that made its arrival in time with the Art and
Balloon Festival this year.
