Day 22 (May 17) - Valentine, NE

note to self: Next time you decide to ride a bicycle across North America, start from the west.

Pounding and direct headwinds again today. Weather reports say sustained 27 mph with gusts up to 36 mph....nevertheless, we made it here to Valentine, "the Heart City of Nebraska." About to go check things out around town....Wait, what's that I hear????? Sounds like the unmistakable ching-ching-chings and 'gimme a 20' from the nearby South Dakota casino a'callin. Eric and I aren't gamblers, and we definitely aren't high-rollers, but who can resist making a visit after over One Thousand Seven Hundred miles biked!
