30 Miles, 1999.7 miles total.
This was a designated easy day, with at least two of us in need of some bonafide rest. Further justifying an easy day: it is my birthday.
Probably the most difficult part of the day was at the very beginning of the ride, as while we had to climb out of our campsite in a creek revine.
Me (Bob) and Steve took the paved road route to the town of Stuart, while Colin took the Cowboy Trail. We had a notable but not disabilitating headwind. This contributed to selecting the shortest of our optional rides for the day.
The three of us rendezvoused in Stuart, Nebraska in the lawn of the St. Boniface Catholic Church — where the neighborhood cat was very, very glad to meet and greet us.
The town of Stuart offers free tent camping with hot showers. This surely validated our decision to keep the ride short today and call Stuart, Nebraska our home for the night.
We enjoyed jalapeño stuffed sausages, a variety of bean salads, and a special cheesecake assortment for my birthday celebration.
