Broken Arrow Park, Lawrence, Kansas
Saturday, July 12, 2025
What better way to beat the heat than to ride the Lizard Under the Skillet? Yes, July is hot! How hot is it?
“It was so hot I watched a lizard crawl into the campfire just to get in the shade of the skillet”.
A new day! This year’s Lizard will be on Saturday, July 12. Mark your calendar!
Choose from three routes, varying in length from 26-62 miles: the Gecko (26 miles), the Iguana (46 miles) and the Godzilla (66 miles) on lightly traveled paved roads. SAG stops are every 10-15 miles. Besides our great SAGs, the course is well-marked and mechanical support will be available from Cycle Works, TREK Lawrence, and Sunflower Outdoor and Bike Shop. The Kansas City Ham Radio Operators are providing additional safety support again this year.
Ride start is between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. at Broken Arrow Park. The course closes at 3 p.m. Rider check-in is required. Packet pickup is available the day before the ride Friday, July 11 (2-6 p.m.) at Sunflower Outdoor and Bike, and at Broken Arrow Park on Saturday, July 12 (5:30-8am).
Cool down after the ride with gelato and sorbetto, soft drinks, and ice-cold cooling towels at Broken Arrow Park shelter house.
