Valentine, Nebraska |
Rode the Cowboy Trail out of Valentine, Nebraska. A great trail, well maintained gravel. With my skinny tires, my road bike sank in a few soft spots, but mostly a great ride, if you discount two flat tires. My own fault, as my rear tire was old and couldn't contain the high pressure inner tube. A new tire and tube from a local bike shop in Norfolk, NE resolved the problem.
My rig parked at the trailhead in Valentine, Nebraska. |
The trailhead is at a small park in the town of Valentine. |
This is a very long bridge over the Niobrara River, well over a quarter mile in length. It's less than 2 miles east of Valentine, NE. |
The state of Nebraska is proud of their trail and has this "Selfie Station" to encourage photos! #outdoornebraska (my first hashtag, Patrick Murphy will be proud) in Valentine, Nebraska. |
That white cow/bull is a longhorn. I've seen a few this trip, but there aren't very many of them. |
Found a small pond near the trail at my turn around point. The Cowboy Trail is a major trail which runs over 200 miles long. I rode 10 miles from Valentine, then turned around here. |
This was the short stretch I had to walk after my second flat tire. |
