Here is a pic from the Lincoln to Indian Cave ride a few of us did last year around this time! Welp like MW said in the comments of the previous post we are planning to ride FROM LINCOLN TO PONCA STATE PARK ! This is the plan Leave Saturday in the wee hours of the morning 3 a.m. and head North parallel to HWY 77. The weather is suppose to be a little cooler and with the tailwind we should cruise into the park between 12 and 14 hours UGGGGh! We have two riders with GPS going so we shouldn't get lost. I'm going to try and route around any water crossing structures like the one pictured above:) Right now the list of riders are bdiddy,MW,JP,Wolfman,Bigmech,JRA. The only thing that is in limbo and could hold the trip up are shuttle rides! Yup we will need rides home what a bunch of slackers i know. If your interested in doing the ride get a hold of me I'll fill you in on the details. If your going up to Pre ride the race course or if your interest in going up to camp and need to follow someone up there and have an open seat in your vechicle to haul one of back get a hold of me.

I don't ever tire of seeing pictures of that bridge.
What's the guestimated milage?
come on wolfman. the more the merrier...
i got a hard on already. well not really. oh wait. yes i do.
Yer all looney!! Mapqwest puts it at 172, but that's via I25.
Am I the only one wondering, "Roadbikes???"
Hey now! None o' that 4 in the rear talk!
Mapsource clocks it at 123 straight line! That gives us 17 miles of goofing off to get to gas stations for food and then back the serenity of the gravel. That would put us at my estimate grand total of 140 miles.
The things you have to do to get an epic in NE!
Riding with goodfolks and stopping off for jerky and cheeze whiz and cokes sounds mighty fine. No 4 inches in the rear for e though.
That ride's going to take a LOT of Nerd Ropes!
I guess I'm officially a sissy now. I could barely make it home from the Platte the other week with mw.
You guys are nutz.
Well, I am still up in the air. I want to go. But I am still awaiting a kitchen pass for Saturday. But I know I would hate to miss this. I'll make it work someway or another.
