Days 60 & 61: Carson City, NV to South Lake Tahoe, CA

We took advantage of a low-mileage day and a great host to sleep in a little yesterday morning and take our time with getting ready. Patti had an excellent breakfast spread and I enjoyed my food and coffee from a cozy chair on the front porch. We also took advantage of the extra time toContinue reading “Days 60 & 61: Carson City, NV to South Lake Tahoe, CA”

Day 59: Austin, NV to Carson City, NV

I woke up this morning a little chilly but otherwise well-rested after a night in the van! After a true #4KOK breakfast (a bagel, a banana, and a slice of cake) and a loooong pack-up, we were finally heading out of Austin back on US-50. It was a clear and cold morning but we quicklyContinue reading “Day 59: Austin, NV to Carson City, NV”

Day 57: Ely, NV to Eureka, NV

There are a lot of incredible feelings on this trip, but it’s hard to top having a scheduled van day after our longest ride of the trip. Bailey and I lucked out in that sense today– I did get some doubtful comments from the team because I make the van schedule but I swear itContinue reading “Day 57: Ely, NV to Eureka, NV”

Day 56: Caliente, NV to Ely, NV

If you had told me at 4 AM this morning that almost the entire team would complete today’s 137-mile route before our scheduled dinner at 6:30 I wouldn’t have believed you. Between needing to pack up the campsite and outfit our new van with bike racks in the morning and the heat, elevation, and overallContinue reading “Day 56: Caliente, NV to Ely, NV”

Day 58: Eureka, NV to Austin, NV

I ended up in the van again today after a terrible night of sleep thanks to a small hole in my sleeping pad. I hate to give up riding time this close to the end of the trip but I knew that I would benefit from another day of relative rest, and Mike really wantedContinue reading “Day 58: Eureka, NV to Austin, NV”

Days 54 & 55: Cedar City, UT to Caliente, NV

Two nights ago we developed a last-minute reroute to avoid going way out of our way to Milford, where we also didn’t have a confirmed host. Instead, we set out for Caliente, NV today (pronounced “Cali-enny” by the locals), which doubled our mileage for the day but gave us a bonus rest day! As IContinue reading “Days 54 & 55: Cedar City, UT to Caliente, NV”
