Our plan was to ride from Valentine to O'Neil with overnight stops along the way. Cold weather and rain kept us from doing the trail as planned, so we did day trips instead. Rode Valentine east for 10 miles and then back to Valentine (20 mph head wind on way back to Valentine). Trail was very nice - crushed limestone that was packed down well. Rode another segment of the trail Bassett to Long Pine. Had lunch in Long Pine, then back to Bassett. The trail for this portion was not as nice as the Valentine portion but very do-able. The trail was gravel, a bit thick and loose in many places. We do want to go back and do the trail, but learned that we should only plan on about 25 miles max a day. We are used to riding cement trails - switching to gravel trails was more of a workout than what we thought. An overnight stop in Bassett at the Bassett Lodge is worth a look into, great restaurant and lodge!
