Hub Café

This was the official post-training spot during our tour class this spring. Figured it'd be a good place to touch before heading to St. Paul

Had to swing by Cycle Works to grab something and the luggage and support vehicles for TdN were there being loaded. We'll all be on our way very soon.

Quick Ride to North Loup State Rec Area
June 20, 2017 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C
We hadn't had our daily ride and a rec area was just a couple miles north of the fairgrounds we were camped at. Wasn't too much to see except some picnic spots on the side of the river but word is that it's a common launching place for air boats that cruise the water.Read more

Melitta Vista Winery

This winery just North of St. Paul sits high on a hill overlooking everything around it. A peaceful place to enjoy some wine before we start riding tomorrow.

St. Paul to Dannebrog
June 21, 2017 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
After a good pancake, sausage and egg breakfast at the fairgrounds and some quick announcements we were on our way West. Since we all left at the same time, the road was pretty congested with bikes — probably the last time that will be a problem. From now on, people kind of do what they want as far as deciding when to ride. The line at the bakery in Dannebrog was so long as there was one guy inside serving up the Kolaches everybody was after. Given his shorthand situation, he just had folks make their own change at the cash register while he kept preparing the pastries. :-)Read more

Dannebrog to Rockville
June 21, 2017 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C
Things really started heating up by time we left Dannebrog and it just got more intense as we headed West. Add a continuous small incline pretty much the entire way and it made for some tough riding at times. Rockville really put on a nice lunch for us in the park with shredded turkey sandwiches, pickles and chips. On to Loup City!!Read more

Loup City
June 21, 2017 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 37 °C
Getting here was a bit of a challenge, but we made it! Amanda was getting pretty hot between Rockville and here and we stopped a few times to have a rest and cool off. One stop was at a small cemetery that I checked out while she laid near a tree. We got to learn more about the cemetery when we arrived in Loup City and checked out the county museum (lured there by root beer floats).

Our first actual overnight town. We've setup camp at the High School in town and found out how WONDERFUL the pork belly ventures shower service is. OMG. Best shower ever (mostly attributing to what we had just done). I look forward to another tomorrow :-) We attended the Newcomers Reception at the Legion Hall, then after a couple games of air hockey at the bowling alley, walked back to the High School. Possible storms tonight! Hoping for good sleep and then on to the road tomorrow (around 6-6:30?) to Broken Bow.Read more
