BRAN-29 Day 7 - the conclusion

The guys slept in Lincoln Friday night and left at 6:30am for Syracuse. The shoulders on Hwy 50 were horrible until they reached the Cass County line, then became much smoother.

Above is a photo of Brad and Dave in their cool BRAN29 jerseys. This was taken on the Lied Platte River Bridge at about the 25 mile point. All morning they fought a brisk NNE headwind, but after crossing the Platte and heading west along the river it wasn't too bad. However, the next 15 miles or so from mile 30 to 45 was all UPHILL! They finally turned east in Gretna and found some good shoulders and rolling hills again. The last few miles through Chalco Hills was great, following the lakeshore through the wooded areas in the park. Finally, they reached the end of the 50 mile route with all of the families cheering each rider as they came in.
