Clinton, MO to Lincoln, NE: 3 states, 300 miles, 9.5 hours on the road, 5.5 in the saddle.
Grandma Chris met us at our hotel this morning with some great breakfast fixens perfect for hungry bikers ready to hit the road. She is such a wonderful person and a great cook too.
Our fist stop was the Harley factory in Kansas City. We took the tour and watched Dynas, Sportsters and VRods being built. It was pretty cool.
Our weather was a bit crazy today. It was hot and muggy in MO but by the time we got to Iowa the temp dropped 20 degrees. Then, a few more miles up the road in Nebreska it rained on us. It wasn't too much but I was sure cold when we finally arrived at the hotel.
We kept in close contact with Paul and made plans to meet up in Lincoln. Robyn's bike is back to normal and our group is back together.
Traveling across country on a motorcycle gives you a lot of time to think about things and really enjoy all the beauty we have around us. Such as wildlife, spectacular landscapes, big city views and small towns in the middle of nowhere. It really is amazing and somewhat indescribable. Even racing against the elements -- and not always winning -- is part of the experience. They say “it’s not the destination but the journey” and I agree. My journey has taken me more than just the miles put in my saddle and given me so memories of a lifetime.
It looks like tomorrow is going to be a long day in the saddle. The last I heard we were heading to Casper, WY (over 600 miles).
