[Road Brief] Day 33 – The Long Trek Across Nebraska Begins

Day #33
Miles Covered Today: 66
Hours on The Road: 7.00 (including breaks)
Miles Traveled Since Beginning: 1,832
Where We Are: David City, NE

Day Overview: Fantastic day on the road today. Beautiful weather, no wind, and little traffic on the road – what more can a cyclist ask for? If it continues this way for the next week, Nebraska may end up being one of the most pleasant stretches so far!

And I thought I spent a long time in the saddle ... this guy's been riding a bit too long

An interesting realization also struck today. In the entire 30+ days on the road, I have yet to see any other long-distance cyclists pass me by. I certainly realize that there are an infinite number of routes that other people can take, but considering that there are quite a few people crossing the country or a region by bike each year, I’m still hoping to run into at least a  few.

I wonder if the majority of cross-country folks stick to the more established U.S. Cycling Routes. What do you think? Where are my fellow long-distance cyclists? Hello? Anyone out there?

Next Scheduled Event: Denver, CO on Monday, May 21st. See full schedule of future stops.
