Well, it was more "Hill Biking" but it was awesome. A new Kearney friend, Chris, and I drove the 1 hour west to Potter's Pasture to try out the single-track out there. Believe it or not, it was actually really great! The land sits on a series of hills, ridges, and valleys covered in small pine and cedar forests. Chris and I hadn't ridden in a long time, so we were equally out of shape - and pleasantly surprised with the quality of trails. The weather was perfect - mid-70s, slight breeze, white puffy clouds lazily floating across the sky. Some really technical sections with deep ruts, roots, etc... Some great ridge and valley single track where you could shift into the hard gears and get some good speed. And, all along the way - lots of cowpies. It is a pasture, after all. So - those were some unanticipated obstacles. It was great. A good 2-3 hour ride and we probably only covered about 1/4 of the trails. Adding to the pastoral motife, all of the trail names were on stakes, written on cow ear tags like this:
Big thanks to the apparently active community and crew that keeps this place maintained!

Awesome, man. I'm so glad you have a place to ride. Now you'll be in good form for next time you're out here.
