After an amazing breakfast of Eggs Benedict at Rita and Len Higgins' house (thank you again), we gathered again as a team to finally get back on our bikes. I was expecting to be a lot more sore, our pace in the morning was quite leisurely and I really enjoyed the bike trail that we took out of Omaha for the first 10-15 miles or so.
I know there were several others, but Liz from the host church actually rode out with us for the first leg of the day. Impressive considering that it was only her third time taking out her new bike! We really appreciate having locals ride out with us (especially since they actually know where they are going... compared to us, call us team get lost).
Ok so while some alumni warned us that Iowa would be hilly, I'm pretty certain that they told us that Nebraska would be flat... but guess, what, hills, hills, hills. I guess it's preparation for the Rockies which are not all that far away...
Thanks to the University Lutheran Center for hosting us tonight. A lot of people hit up sticker stores and local businesses, because we know that until we get to Denver probably, Lincoln will be the biggest city we will be in... kind of worried that bike shops will be scarce until then...
