Love and thanks to those who made our First 2021 Annual Bike With Mike a SUCCESS!!! We raised $200,000 for Community Alliance @caomaha !!! All this will assist in getting better care for those who need it. Unbelievable support from this incredible community, we feel blessed to know you all. Mike, there’s a lot of people who love and miss you. Let’s do it again this year! 😇 All proceeds from this event will directly support the integrated mental health outpatient services provided by Community Alliance in Omaha. Grab your bike or your best walking shoes and join us on the Wabash Trace “Taco Ride” From Lewis Central Jr. High in Council Bluffs to Mineola and back (about 10 miles each way by bike. Walkers can drive to Mineola and walk as much of the trail as they please). 🌮 At 11:30 am at an outdoor venue in Mineola, we will serve lunch and have a brief program. All COVID-19 precautions will be followed for this entire event. 🕙 The bike ride will start at the Wabash Trace trailhead at 10am (registration open at 9am), June 4th, and will go 10 miles to Tobey Jack's Steakhouse in Mineola, IA. Bike ride is estimated between 45 to 90 mins. ❤️ ABOUT Bike with Mike Mike Kutilek was an outgoing and healthy young man who enjoyed a number of outdoor activities, but he especially loved biking. He learned to ride a bike very early at age 3, and it just kept growing into long bike rides with friends on trails like the Wabash Trace. Mike especially loved the popular Wabash Trace "Taco Ride" on Thursday nights with friends and family. In Mike's late twenties he manifested mental illness and eventually passed away in May of 2020 at age 29. The Kutilek family experienced the hardships of dealing with mental illness for a loved one, and the need for mental health resources in the Omaha community. The family is organizing an event in Mike's honor that raises awareness and funds to help support Community Alliance, a local mental health organization that is having a significant impact in the community. 👨‍👩 Our community needs your support more than ever. So on June 4th let's bike, walk, laugh, and eat tacos together!! 🚴🌮😄
