SUTHERLAND, Neb - Cyclists hit the road early Monday morning as Day 2 of the 2025 Bicycle Ride Across Nebraska (BRAN) took off from Sutherland, continuing the weeklong trek across the Cornhusker State.
Riders will follow a scenic 71-mile route along the Platte River, passing landmarks like Buffalo Bill’s Ranch in North Platte and the historic Fort McPherson National Cemetery near Maxwell. The day’s ride will end in Gothenburg, where participants will rest before continuing eastward on Tuesday.
There will be seven food trucks in the parking lot at the Impact Center in Gothenburg to greet the riders this afternoon beginning at 4 pm, with music in the event center by Rascal Martinez from 6-9 pm, along with a cash bar and a Pints for Polio fundraiser by the Gothenburg Rotary Club.
The annual ride began Sunday in Oshkosh, with riders camping overnight in Sutherland. Tuesday’s route will take cyclists from Gothenburg to Broken Bow as they make their way to the final stop in Fremont on Saturday.
