🏁 TOMORROW IS THE DAY, WICHITA! 🚴‍♀️☀️
The bikes are tuned, the beer is cold, and we are ready to roll! We’ve been watching the skies, and while there’s a slight chance of a stray shower, the heavy stuff looks like it will hold off until well after we’re done.

⛈️ Rain or Shine—We’re Having a Party!
We are a "Rain or Shine" event! However, your safety is our #1 priority.

The Plan: In the event of lightning or heavy rain during the ride, we will cancel the outdoor cycling portion—BUT the party is still ON! * The After-Party: We’ll move the fun inside the Wichita Boathouse where it’s dry and cozy. We’ll have the food, the beverages, and The Nailbiters will be rocking the stage as planned! 🎸🍕

🛠️ TdW PRE-RIDE CHECKLIST: Are You Ready to Roll?
We are just days away from Tour de Wichita 2026! Whether you are a seasoned cyclist or a casual Sunday cruiser, a little prep goes a long way. Use this checklist to make sure you and your gear are ready for a smooth ride on April 26th! 🏁

🚲 For Your Bike:
A-B-C Check: Check your Air (tires pumped?), Brakes (squeezing tight?), and Chain (running smooth?).

ReCycle Help: If your bike needs a serious tune-up, remember to support our friends at Walk Wichita—they are the experts at keeping ICT rolling!

Comfort is King: Wear moisture-wicking clothes and closed-toe shoes.

🧡 We Couldn't Do This Without You!
As we head into the final countdown for Tour de Wichita 2026, we want to take a moment to shine a spotlight on the incredible organizations that make this day possible.

The names you see here aren’t just logos—they are the engines behind our mission. Because of their generosity:

Bike Walk Wichita can keep the ReCycle Program rolling, providing essential transportation to our neighbors. 🛠️

Great Plains Diabetes can continue providing the education and resources local families need to live healthy, active lives. 🩺

👏 A Huge Thank You to Our 2026 Sponsors!
From our local bike shops to our health partners and small businesses—you are the definition of "People Powered." When you see these folks at the event on Sunday, give them a high-five or a "Thank You!"

Let’s hear it for the teams that keep Wichita moving! 🏁
