Shifting Gears booklet indicates we are on our 36th day of riding. We departed from Fremont, NE and headed into head winds. After 3 hours of riding, Tekamah seemed like a bustling community that would support a thriving cafe. The Tailgators Bus Stop Cafe certainly proved to be the spot for a breakfast recharging station.
Diane served a pancake the size of a medium pizza for an awesome price of $1.50! She obviously had to ask where I was going with all the bike stuff on. She quickly donate money for the effort.
Later at camp, Diane enthusiastically served many other who came along later in the day. She proudly displayed the "Sea to Sea" bracelet I had given her for generous donation.
Many tonight decided to sleep inside a basketball court gymnasium. I appreciate the generosity of the local community leaders for opening up their facility, but it seems a bit too crowded especially IF I were to display my snoring performance at an inappropriate time. So, with the threat of rain, my tent is under the roof of an outdoor shelter next to the train tracks. YIKES!
Enough of all this for now...I have been quite challenged and amazed how difficult it has been for me to post to this blog daily and yet thrilled to see so many passionate journalists who overcome all these daily details to post to their blog sites so faithfully.
Quiz for a Google look up... What is Dordt College all about?

Hi, Dale!
I am amazed at your progress, and I await your (the Tour's) arrival in NJ. I have dipped my feet in the Atlantic August 2, having finished up physics on July 31. Now I'm pushing my friends to join the cause.
It's heartening to hear about how people respond to the tour when they encounter (us) the bikers.
The excitement hasn't really taken hold back in the east. My friends and people who know me are excited about what I have done -but I really haven't been able to translate that into what the entire effort is about. I wish the tour would pass through more of NY/NJ/PA so that people could have the face to face encounter w/a horde of spandexed creatures.
Seriously - I want to do a mini-ride around the state just to generate the same type of experience that being on the C2C tour has been. Well, maybe not the same but you know what I mean.
