One long road: Zlab fulfills dream in final year

“I thought about quitting, but then I noticed who was watching.”
Really, dirt bikes aren’t that bad as a means of transportation, provided you’re well-bundled for those bitter cold Nebraska winter mornings.
Tanner Zlab owned a truck, sure enough, but to save money on gas, he’d hop on his bike, leave his rental house just outside of Wilber and begin his daily journey.
There’s Sam Hahn’s farm. There’s Highway 4. There’s Beatrice.
“I just cruised at about 55,” Zlab said, “because it’s not a very big dirt bike.”
After riding about 23 miles, he’d arrive at Southeast Community College, where Zlab took classes during the spring semester of 2013.
