All proceeds for the weekend will go to Habitat for Humanity of Shawnee.

The event will combine and replace the Bison Bike Tour, the Sacred Heart Century, and the Cavalier 5k Road Race in order to offer the state bicycling/running community a larger and better option.

Participants for the event will enjoy a Pancake Breakfast at St. Gregory's University on Saturday morning.

The previously-scheduled USCF races associated with the Bison Bicycle Classic have been cancelled for 2008 due to logistical issues. Race promoters are confident the 2009 event will include the planned two days of USCF racing.

The event will include the popular 50 mile non-sanctioned, timed road race which the Bison Bike Tour has offered in the past.

The bicycle tour has been scheduled to be in conjunction with the historic Santa Fe Depot Homecoming in downtown Shawnee and will include a rest stop at the depot. Tourists can tour the museum, browse the arts and crafts shows, and enjoy live entertainment.

For more information regarding this event, please contact either Jim Vernon or Thresa Swadley, 405.878.2305 or email, music@okbu.edu.
