Saint Louis, Missouri to Omaha, Nebraska

Lewis and Clark TrailAfter my spring, 2008, semester at Kenrick Seminary in Saint Louis I, Jason Signalness, rode my bicycle from Saint Louis, MO, to Omaha, NE, where I spent the summer taking classes at Creighton University.

This was my first solo, unsupported ride, and my longest ride to date. I followed section one of the the Adventure Cycling Lewis & Clark Trail.

At times my ride was extremely challenging because of weather and traffic. At other times, I enjoyed a peaceful, even prayerful, solitude, particularly along the Katy Trail as I rode across Missouri.

It was a challenging, but worthwhile ride. Click below to experience the ride through my journals, photographs, and audio clips. I hope you enjoy the ride as much as I did!

As always, I appreciate comments or questions. E-mail me at jason@jsignal.com.
