Lawrence Bicycle Club Muffin Ride and Show-N-Go

If the scenic tour through campus to and from classes isn’t quite your style of biking, the Lawrence Bicycle Club has a trip planned that just might satisfy your inner Armstrong. Although the 9 a.m. start time may seem early for a Saturday, the club doesn’t think so, considering the trip to a local restaurant after the ride.

Starting at Broken Arrow Park, 31st and Louisiana streets, this 35-mile ride trails its way to Lone Star Lake, about 10 miles southwest of Lawrence, where participants can regroup before they head back to Lawrence for breakfast.

Beginning and experienced riders are welcome to participate. Cyclists will split into multiple groups of different riding speeds from 15 to 20 miles per hour.

If you can’t attend Saturday’s ride or are left wanting more after the Muffin Ride, the club also rides on Sunday mornings. At 9 a.m. the club meets for its Show-N-Go at South Park Gazebo, 12th and Massachusetts streets.

The Sunday route changes every week and maps are available at the gazebo. The rides are free and are open to all ages. Don’t forget your helmet.

940 Dance Company Choreographers’ ShOwcase

This Saturday local and professional choreographers will perform at the 16th Annual Choreographers’ Showcase. The showcase will be at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St., and is sponsored by the 940 Dance Company.

Workshops and classes will be offered during the day for advanced dancers. Students who are interested in watching performances by their fellow University of Kansas students and some of the best dancers and choreographers in the Midwest are welcome to attend the informal and professional showcases during the evening.

According to the center’s Web site, choreographers from Lawrence, Kansas City, Illinois, Springfield, Topeka and Manhattan will showcase their work.

Tickets to the professional showcase cost $13.50 for adults and $7 for students and senior citizens. Tickets to the informal showcase are free. Donations are appreciated. The informal showcase will begin at 4:30 p.m., and the professional showcase will begin at 7:30 p.m.
