Well, I was watching the blogs, looking at Rusty's pics, staring at my mountain bike and my oh-so-clean drivetrain Sunday morning.... and I feel like I've had my share of mud over the last few weeks. Maybe Manawa was "rideable", or maybe the wabash wasn't like liquid concrete, but I couldn't risk it. So sorry fellas, if ya did come up form lincoln, and I missed the action, I apologize. If it was dry, I'm really sorry. But I had to go the guarunteed clean route-- up around the airport, to Ft Calhoun, out west, then back south. Beautiful roads and low traffic, and a tailwind all the way home.
