Summer sports

finals are over. You're tired of lounging
around the apartment watching soaps and
dnnkini! iced tea. You want to go out
doors, get a suntan and maybe even some
exercise.
In Lincoln, summer sports are the
perfect solution. For tennis players, the
citv has 10 courts located at various parks
in Lincoln. The condition of the courts
varies, and tennis players may have to wait
for a free court, depending on the number
of other players and the time of day.
Although there is a two-hour playing time
limit, these courts are free of charge to
the public.
Woods Tennis Courts, 33rd and J
streets, has courts in good shape avail
able for S2.50 an hour for singles. Lisa
Scott, a Woods employee, said the courts
are usually full during mornings and
afternoons, but in the evenings, they
are not quite as full.
Lincoln also has bike routes which
are free of charge. Cindy Sonderup, an
employee of Cycle Works, 725 N. 27th
St., said the bike routes, which are spon
sored by the Lincoln Transportation
System, are in fairly good shape.
Sonderup said the number of people
using the bike routes varies, depending on
where the route is located.
"The main routes through the city are
really busy," she said.
IN ADDITION, there will be several
sponsored events for cyclists this sum
mer, she said. On June 26, Pete's Century
Bicycle Ride will be held in Richfield,
Neb.
Sonderup said this event allows riders
to ride distances 25, 50- or 100-miles.
All riders receive t-shirts, and patches
will go to the 100-mile riders.
Cycle Works will sponsor a sag wagon,
a van which follows riders and carries
drinks, tools to fix bicycles, and food,
Sonderup said.
The Rotary Club will sponsor a June 5
1 1 BRAN (Bicycle Ride Across Nebraska).
Sonderup said the riders will camp at
different cities each night, and the Rotary
Club sets up the camp site and carries gear.
This is the third annual 505 mile BRAN
event. T-shirts will be given to each parti
cipant. Sonderup said there are minimal fees
for some events which benefit charities,
a minimal amount of pledges are needed.
Dave Frazell, salesman and repairman
of Lawlor's, 1118 0 St., said the Nebraska
Touring Bike Club in Lincoln will have
Eig aro llanos
m
are a soimitoon
several small rides around Lincoln during
the summer.
Although racquetball is an indoor
sport, il is also popular during the summer.
Sue Reed, evening manager of Sports
Courts of Lincoln, Inc., said it costs $7.1 S
to rent a racquetball court in non-prime-time
hours, which are Monday tlirough
Friday from 6 a 411. to 4 p. in. and again
from 9:30 p.m. to 11 pjn. and all day
Saturday.
PRIME TIME RATES (from 4 p.m
to 9:30 pjn.) are $9.23 an hour. Both
prices include the guest and court fee,
Reed said.
Another option is to purchase a mem
bership, which allows a person to use the
10 racquetball courts, 15 Nautilous Fit
ness Center machines, three exercise bikes,
.1 swimming pool, a lounge, dancercise,
and a free nursery, she said.
Students can purchase a three month
membership for $90, winch entitles them
to use all facilities except the racquetball
courts during prime-time hours.
Reed said the prime time courts are
reserved for full members, who pay an
initiation fee and monthly fees.
Because students usually have more
variety in their schedules, they can play
druing non-prime time hours, unlike
business people who work all day, Reed
said.
Reed said that members of the Lincoln
Sports Courts can also play at the Omaha
Sports Courts during certain times of the
day for no charge. A student could also
change his or her membership over to
Lincoln, she said.
Students are also welcome to play
racquetball at Wall-Bankers Racquetball
Club and Fitness Center, 330 West P
St., Dave Putensen, manager, said.
Putensen said there are two member
ship options. The annual membership has
a $30 initiation fee and a $24 monthly
fee.
The other option is a $30 a month
fee for a minimum of three months. Puten
sen said this entitles members to use all
facilities, including the racquetball courts,
fitness center, sauna, and whirlpool.
Putensen said the courts are in excellent
condition, and availability is no problem
because the courts are currently used
only about 45 percent of the time. Wall
Bankers has eight courts which are open
from 6 a.m. to midnight, he said.
"We're very close to the university,
within easy bike riding or jogging dis
tance," Putensen said.
