I've recently moved to Omaha NE. One benefit of the move is that I'm smack dab in the middle of what appears to be some of the best trails around! The Katy, the Wabash, and the Cowboy Trail are all within easy reach of my new domicile (today's $.50 word!)
In addition, I'm right across the Missouri River from the oldest organized bike ride in the country: RAGBRAI! Click on the link to find out more about this ride. Or watch the movie "A Million Spokes" (here's a trailer on YouTube)
But Iowa will have to wait a year or two. This year, Laura and I will be doing BRAN, the Bicycle Ride Across Nebraska. What better way to get acquainted with my new state and its citizens than from two wheels?
With a route that changes annually, BRAN gives small towns and cities along the way an opportunity to raise funds for their communities while raising scholarship money for kids in Nebraska. So if you're looking for us during the first week in June, we'll be on the road somewhere between Kimball and Ashland.
Personal challenges and meeting them together.
