Day 3 of our 35th (Riding Free)

Day 3 of our 35th Anniversary HOG trip: Manhattan Kansas to Kearney Nebraska.


We only rode 238 miles today. Last trip we learned that I get tired after about three days on the bike, so we changed it up this time. We are staying in Kearney (pronounced KAR-nee) for two nights. I’ll jump on Tim’s bike for some sight seeing tomorrow, and then we will leave the area the next day.

Today we were on some really beautiful rural roads. Three flaggers with one lane roads delayed our trip … twice. Someone said we could have been the flagger – we sure were colorful!

At one point Tim’s GPS warned us of dirt roads ahead πŸ™€πŸ˜±πŸ˜¬πŸ˜³. Fortunately, we turned right before the pavement ended, but we were sweating bullets for a few miles!

I woke up to a Scripture saying β€œBe alert.” This was much needed advice with all the farm equipment and rough roads today!

We rode through the geographical center of the United States, and past the birthplace of Home on the Range (🎼 while singing said song) on the Home on the Range Byway.

Once we arrived in Kearney, we visited the only American museum in an archway that spans across an interstate (I-80), the Kearney Museum. It was excellent and the narration is very informational! Good suggestion Harley-Davidson!

And we had some Poutine for dinner.

If you’ve never eaten it, be prepared for calorie and carb overload! LOL. The description is house cut fries, cheese curds, white pepper gravy, bacon, shredded cheese, scallions.

I managed to stay upright on my bike (which was not true yesterday…a story too boring to share), so… All in all, a very good day. 😊


Á la prochaine…until next time!
