Have I mentioned lately how much I like riding bikes in Nebraska? I finally felt well enough to ride this morning, and although not a long ride, it felt great. As usual, I headed out on the old highway. Most of the time I ride to the Cozad road, turn around and come back. I decided not to go that distance this morning, so I just went to the Willow Island road, up to Highway 30, then on back home from there.
I don't think there was one car on the old highway, and even highway 30 wasn't too busy. And all vehicles that passed me gave me plenty of room, and some drivers even waved. Very nice, indeed.

GB Biking Dude
This is Robert, my former high school wood shop teacher. He is an amazingly strong bike rider, I can never keep up with him. One of these days I'll be stronger than he is, I swear!!!
Taiwan Construction Dude
I love how Taipei lets motorists know of construction zones. What you can't see are the dudes arms waving up and down. From a distance you can't believe how real he looks.
Time to Update?
Just arrived back in the states on Sunday night for the summer. No biking yet, even though yesterday was perfect for it. A cold decided to lodge itself in my system while I was flying home, so I need to get rid of that before I have energy for the bike. I really was hoping to get in some training for the upcoming Tour de Nebraska next week, but I figure I can do it anyway...I'll just ride more slowly and stop more often than normal. The first day is just 57 miles, so it should be doable.
