Biking - Race BRAN Certified? 7:00am Weather: Nice	48 miles 00:00:00 0 mph	Height: 5'9

I decided to ride BRAN 38 with Ann, a bucket list item, even though I had not ridden my road bike all year. My goal was to complete the first three days of riding and see what I had left for the rest of the week. Three days is significant because I had completed a two day ride a couple of years ago and Tuesday's ride at 86 miles would be the longest ride I'd ever done. This is Ann's 17th BRAN, so I am really going to rely on her for advice this week.
Day 1 was from Ogallala to Imperial. Found out how early the day gets going on BRAN. Most everyone is up and moving an hour before sunrise: getting dressed, packing up tent and gear, and having breakfast. We stayed on the football field at Ogallala High. Weather is actually cold; a low of 47, which is fairly common out here in the Sandhills.
Riding was great. A "short" 48 miles south through the Sandhills, which is green and almost lush this time of year. No serious hills, but a series of long uphills that I handled pretty well. I enjoy climbing, probably a result of my running background. Riding is a great way to see and appreciate the wide open spaces in Western Nebraska.
The host towns really make an effort to make us feel appreciated. They understand that the over 400 riders and support staffs add a lot to the local economies. Each host town gets 3K in scholarship money from the organizers, but the town voted best by the riders gets 6K. Pretty cool idea. There were a number of signs along the road for us. One read "Yes! there are rattlesnakes. Be careful!" Then a few hundred yards later, there was a dead rattlesnake on the shoulder. But at first I didn't know it was dead!

Absolutely wonderful morning for a run! Saw a ton of bicyclists out, much fewer runners. One of said runners was Leanto Bob...good to see him!

Song of the day: "Mr. Bojangles" by Jerry Jeff Walker. Bona fide classic, and JJW is the man who wrote it and recorded the original. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band had a hit with it and it has also been covered by everyone from Bob Dylan to Sammy Davis Jr.

Rest day yesterday after an 11 mile a day week. Felt good to go short today. After a few heavier mileage weeks I think I'll work on some shorter speed for a bit.
