Somewhere near Meadow Grove, Nebraska, biking on a particularly gusty section of the Cowboy Recreation and Nature Trail, Alex Duryea offered a new way to consider the landscape of wide open cornfields we’d been pedaling through for hours. “This is Nebraska’s mountains — the wind,” said Duryea, the recreational trails manager at the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission.
