The Cowboy Trail: Nebraska's Rail Trail Wonder

Описание: Join me for six beautiful days on Nebraska's Cowboy Trail. Covering 195 miles from Norfolk to Valentine (and back), this trail provides all the beauty that the state offers. Despite battling a headwind almost the entire ride, the countryside more than made up for the extra challenge. And the kindness of Nebraskans was awesome. I rode this trail in June, 2024.
