Nebraska Riding Experiences




First off, I must say the riding in Nebraska was truly amazing. Simply from the fact that it is so different from here in North Carolina. Almost all of the riding was done on gravel roads, and I figured it would be that way, so I decided to take the cross bike.


I also got in some short singletrack and some doubletrack as well on Wildlife Management Areas.

Riding at sunrise and sunset was beautiful.

Yes it was cold enough that morning to justify the warmers, probably in the 40's



The area around Fort Robinson is essentially surrounded on three sides by steep buttes, so as I ventured to the limits of the area (at least the area accessible by bike) I felt more and more hemmed in.



The wildlife was amazing as well. I was lucky enough to see many white-tailed deer, pronghorn, buffalo, prairie dogs, and a whole bunch of other things as well.



On my last ride, a barely outran a storm. It was probably one of the most intense lightning storms I've seen.
