I would suggest looking at the route through the Sandhills that jamawani suggests. I've never ridden there but I went and canoed the Niobrara a few years ago and it is stunningly beautiful! Much better than western Kansas. Go through Fort Robinson and read Cheyenne Autumn by Mari Sandoz. It will change the way you look at the US during the "Indian Wars" years.
