We just spent 9 days and 8 nights riding from Norfolk to Valentine and back. The towns provided parks with excellent camping and water and most have grocery stores. The trail surface is mostly good with some very nice and some quite rough sections. 2 flats due to puncture vine ( 2 Continental tires 2 flats, 4 Schwalbe tires 0 flats ). Just west of Ainsworth the trail is covered with puncture vine. We saw 3 enthusiastic and friendly cyclists. All of the folks we met were very pleasant and encouraging. Thanks Nebraska !
