July 14 2009 - Grand Island - Lincoln


We were back on the bike today for another 100 mile cruise into the big city of Lincoln!


The ride was relatively normal with very little excitement along the way (other than road kill and corn). When we arrived in the city, we found out that we were staying at the Beta Theta Pi fraternity house. It was strange to stay in another fraternity’s house, but the gentlemen of Beta Theta Pi were very welcoming and friendly. The reason that we were staying at their house is that there isn’t a Pi Kapp house at Nebraska currently. Fortunately, the newly colonized chapter should be up and running for future North Route teams.


Arriving into the city was made better by the copious amounts of candy, snacks, and cookies provided by one of the cyclists families. We hustled to shower up before leaving for a dinner sponsored by the Saratoma club, which is a local service organization specializing in helping those with visual and auditory impairments.


We were on a tight schedule tonight because we needed to leave for another big dance! The dance was a blast and I’m pretty sure that I’m going to be absolutely exhausted for tomorrow’s ride! Fortunately it’s only going to be 50 miles into Omaha!

See you then!
