    Sometimes, that’s all they can afford or all they know.

    Between work, house projects, and weather things haven’t lined up for riding on my days off for a while. I got rid of my Salsa Journeyer a while back and today I finally got a chance to head out on my Long Haul Trucker. There’s something so good and simple about cantilever brakes and friction shifting.

    The Bicycle Museum of America in New Bremen OH is a must.

    Check with them first, but I think there are parking lots that can handle a tractor trailer.

    I has among other things, the complete collection of the former Schwinn Corporation
    The benefactor is an owner of Crown Forklifts.

    Bobtail will fit. But going around the immediate area, i did not see where a semi trailer could manage.

    Working on this and fine tuning the route based on towns with services on the way to Valentine. So far it’s sitting at only 10% paved roads for the whole route. Just a dumb idea I have for this coming summer.

    Hwy 20 follows that Cowboy trail for much of that distance. There is town every 10 or 15 miles, as the train route is from steam engine days and water stops became towns
    Last i checked couple years ago the was shuttle from bike shop in norfolk drop you off in Valentine. Maybe even Chadron
    I am hoping to do it this summer. But might be the next
