N platte, NE


Cold but fast. On the plains now we moved up to the 100 main and were flying still doing 80-90 miles per driver, but able to coast and burn from 65-70mph.
Warmth of the van is a great motivator, passing off prewarmed gloves and keeping your helmet by the heater means 30 minutes b4 you feel chilly. Drafting has become a science. 8% speedo error means tons of "road math" to keep you sharp, debating on the intercom whose sums are better. Now hitting reserve doesn't come as a surprise the way it used to. Good cloud cover and no more rain is making it feel warmer. Knock wood should make Lincoln by 2am.
