Day One - Cincinnati to Lincoln, Nebraska (838 miles)

This was the furthest the two of us had ridden together in a day. We started at 7:00a.m. Saturday morning from my house, and made it to St. Louis on our second tank of gas before lunch. We fueled up in Warrenton MO and grabbed a quick bite. Shortly after leaving with our third tank of gas in our bikes the skies turned dark, and we quickly stopped to put our rain suits on. The damp conditions would stay with us until we hit our destination for the night. Fortunately there were not any terrible heavy downpours. The rain was constant but without strong winds, so we rode, and rode. We pulled into Lincoln shortly before sundown for the night.
