Day 27 Red Cloud, NE to Fairbury, NE

Adam and I agreed to ride together again today to regulate our pace for a tough climbing day of 77 miles. It was a lot of up again, down again hills in Nebraska. There were many showers in the area today and Adam and I managed to stay in the middle of them, without getting wet. We had sprinkles for a while, but stayed dry. Many of the others either before or after us got drenched. A group behind had to hold up in a restaurant for a couple hours waiting for the weather to clear. Julie was with them.

We ran into a headwind about halfway through the day. Adam and I switched off leading and breaking the wind. It was tough, but we worked together and got it done. We make a pretty good pair, trekking across the continent!

We are camped in the city park of Fairbury, NE for a much needed rest over the rest of the weekend. There is no CRC or RCA church in the area, but we are going to a local Presbyterian Church and they are serving us dinner. After the last 2 challenging days, we are all ready for a little down time and rest.
