Hi.
Just finished the trail on Friday 6/29. (Valentine to Norfork) We rode a Fat tire Pugsley and 2 older road bikes with 1 1/4 tires
(In our defense we have used the road bike setup on the KT Trail, the C+O, the GAP and others without problems)
The Pugsley floated over everything! The 1 1/4s not so much...quite possibly because of the horrendous rains the area had received recently.(duh)
The trail was rough and our choice of bikes made it worse.
We ended up doing about maybe 25% on the trail and the rest on the road. Traffic was mostly light, gave us plenty of room and the shoulder was clean and smooth. The people we met and the towns we stopped in were all very friendly and supportive. East City Park in Ainsworth was very clean. Mill Race Park in Atkinson has a new hot shower! Hot shower in Riverside park in Neligh too! We finished up in Ta-Ha-Zouka Park (hot shower!) were we had left our car before being shuttled to Valentine by North Fork Outfitting. In short it was a good ride in a great area amongst friendly people.
I'll be happy to answer specific questions, if I can.
