Hi All,

My brother and I are thinking about doing a trip across Nebraska along the Cowboy Trail. I have gone across the state once along the Lincoln Highway but am very excited to come back to the state to ride its northern tier.

However, I'm trying to figure out the best way to make it up to the start of the trail and how to return at its end. Does one fly in to Omaha or Lincoln and send their bike to the Amtrak there? Then hitch a ride by bus or rent a car in both places? Is this even possible? Thoughts?

Andy

Hi Andy,

As far as transportation from one end of the trail to another give North Fork Outfitting a call (402) 316-0157. They run a Cowboy Trail shuttle service. To me it sounds like shipping your bike to the shop in Norfolk (Cleveland Bike and Sport) and then flying into Lincoln/Omaha, renting a car and driving to Norfolk might be your best option to get there. Then have the shuttle take you to Valentine and you would ride east on the trail back to your rental car in Norfolk. I would leave the rental car at Ta Ha Zouka Park, that's where the Cowboy Trail ends/begins in Norfolk. Or there is an Enterprise car rental in Norfolk if you just want to return the car when you get to Norfolk and rent another when you get back after riding the trail, not sure if that would be cheaper.

I can also shuttle from airport...Last year had a guy from Israel that shrink wrapped and boxed his bike to allow it as luggage, and I picked him up from the airport and shuttled him to his start. You would have to check with the airlines on their rules, but I am pretty flexible, and would love to help make your trip happen! Have a great day! Tony
