Steven and I decided to head to North to Nebraska. We learned about the Blue River bike trail that starts in Marysville and goes to Lincoln Nebraska. We decided to give it a try. One reason was that we learned that there is no breakdown lane on the route that we’ve been riding in KS. Does it sound like a good idea, we’ll, yes and no. The trail was pounded by a storm a couple of weeks back and there was a lot of little branches, the big problem was there was lots of loose sand and mud like quicksand on the trail. This made for strenuous riding. The plan was to ride this trail for thirty seven miles. At 15 miles in when we had a ride option we took it and we had just crossed into Nebraska. It was time to head west. Boy oh boy It was worth riding through all of that because we had a really excellent tail wind which made it awfully fun to ride the long slightly rolling hills with next to no traffic. In the final few miles a train of over 100 cars paralleled us while passing over the course of several minutes. This town Fairbury, NE was one time a busy railroad town which played its role as a shipping and receiving hub. A pretty big town of about 3000. Volunteers help to keep the old time movie theatre running. Steven and I went and saw Buzz Lightyear and ate popcorn. Photos to come.
Sounds like an interesting day. Back home in Quincy we had porch fest. I didn’t realize u do cross fit with Ian Cain. What a small world. Judy
ReplyDeleteHi Jodi this is Steven's pal and riding buddy Will. Great blog! I can't believe you guys have already ridden 2000 miles! What a feat! Way to go! We'll be up in 🇨🇦 for the next 6 weeks otherwise I'd offer you guys a place to stay in Idaho. Say hi to Steven for me and good luck crossing the continental divide!
