The weekend fun kicks off Friday night at Louisville State Recreation Area. Enjoy live music and grab a bite and beverage with your food/drink tickets from the Casa del Sol food truck as you settle in. Check-in runs from 4 to 8PM near the west end of the park in the Riverview area. Drop your gear, then park across the street in the City lot — it’s just a short walk, or hop on the shuttle!
Saturday, Sept. 27
DEPART Louisville: 7AM to 8AM
After starting your day with a grab-and-go breakfast, Saturday’s ride takes you out and back to Eagle, Nebraska, along the scenic MoPac Trail. To connect the MoPac gap, we’ve found less traveled roads that include about 6 miles of gravel. Be prepared to follow the rules of the road. There are rest stops in Murdock, Elmwood, and Eagle to keep you fueled and having fun. Ride the full 60 miles or turn around whenever it feels right — this ride is all about your pace, your adventure.
REST STOPS
Murdock: 8 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.
Elmwood: 9 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.
Eagle: 10:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.
OPTIONAL: RIVER FLOAT
Want to take your Goldenride experience to the next level? For an additional fee, riders can opt to hit the water for some kayaking, canoeing, or tubing! Shuttles will run every 30 minutes on Saturday from 11AM to 1PM. These river floats typically last 2–4 hours (or less, depending on the flow). Bring a cooler, kick back, and turn up the fun — it’s a full-on Party on the Platte! Just add the float option to your cart when you register.
FOOD TRUCK: 4PM-7:30PM
Featuring Casa Del Sol Azteca
LIVE MUSIC: Time TBD
At Louisville SRA. Band TBD.
