Day 3: Stayin’ in Omaha

Miles traveled: 0

Overnight, a storm front rolled through Omaha, Nebraska. It’s been on and off raining ever since, with it starting to let up right around now (~6:00pm Central).

I woke up feeling much better, but I knew I was in no condition to drive in the rain – I felt about 80% myself thanks to the previous day’s experiences. Normally I would have been ok, but dealing with the rain, wind, and thunderstorms did not seem like the safest option on a likely very open, exposed route.

So, here I am, still at the motel, catching up on blog posts and other things. Which is good, I can do some grading for my part-time job. Should be able to finish tonight.

Back on the road tomorrow, with myself feeling 100% and the weather cooperating!

also plan to stop in at Tri City Cycle Works in Grand Island, NE – at the very least to grab some vented gloves. Bonus points: They are a Genuine Dealership!


Want to Help? That would be super-cool!

Than trip should take an estimated 10 days maximum, and roughly 3,000 miles. That will take a bit of a toll on the ol’ wallet, so I am happy to take any donations my generous friends would like to offer. For reference:

$3 will get me approximately 70 miles closer to my goal.
$15 will feed me for the day
$35 will get me one night at a Tent Campsite at a KOA Campsite
$40 will buy me one tire when I get to my destination (as the rear tire will likely be spent by then!)
$75 will get me one night at a hotel (and more importantly, a shower!)

If you would like to donate, feel free to leave a comment (they are private until I approve them, or you can email me at bryrhoey at gmail) and I can set that up, or you can send me money via PayPal! 🙂

If you live along the route, and don’t mind me camping/crashing/eating with you, I’d appreciate that too!
