I hope you had a wonderful 4th of July. I got to welcome a few new people to Lincoln. I was catching my breath on the Mopac bike trail head that morning when a man and his daughter rode up to sit down too. We got to talking and it turns out that they recently moved here from Florida. Their name are Matt and Lilly. So I took a selfie with them and posted it on the B107.3 Facebook page to welcome them to Lincoln. Also, while we were talking, another couple of guys rode up. One of them, Rolff, is on a bike ride from Delaware to Spokane, Washington. It was his 43rd day on his bicycle and he was stopping in Lincoln for the 4th. I gave him some tips for things to do while here. By the way, he didn’t stay at a hotel. Someone in Lincoln was nice enough to open their home for him. Rolff told me about an an app called Warmer Showers where cyclists can find homes to sleep at. I posted Rolff’s pic on the Facebook page too.
By the way, Matt and Lilly say they absolutely love Lincoln and the people.
If you’re ever thinking about going on a long distance cycling tour, here’s the website for Warm Showers.
