With an early start on day 6 from Hiawatha, Kansas, we entered Nebraska well before noon. With a wide, straight road, it was time to break out the cameras while we rode for a few action pictures.

Another, less-obscene, but more-illegal technique. When drafting isn't enough, grab the belt of the other rider's fanny pack and you can stop pedaling altogether!

Crossing the Missouri River early in the afternoon brought us to our third state of the day, Missouri.
