Here I am in Fallon, NV.  48 miles today, which is the shortest day I’ve ever had with this group.  Still a long day, it was mostly flat except for one little climb at the beginning.  Our rest stop was Sand Mountain, really cool in the middle of nowhere: Sand Mountain is a Singing sand

Tonight is “FROM” or “BROM” sometimes called Fake Prom or Bike Prom, this is our night to party.  The ride was short, only 61 miles which is two rest stops for us.  I passed a sign a few days ago that said there were 16 mountain ranges in Nevada on the road we are traveling.

I’m really excited to sleep in my hammock tonight.   The stars are going to be amazing. I am feeling much better today and the ride was great.  The first 40 miles were pretty much all downhill, then the climbing started … and it was brutal.  Long, steepish and HOT!  But that’s the same as

I’m not gonna lie, I’m a pretty strong rider.  I’ve loved every second of riding since I started back in 2014 to train for my first Bike MS:  Waves to Wine ride for my Aunt Alba.  I’m usually not one to stick with a training plan or keep myself motivated to do things for long

Guess what?  More of the same today!   Long roads, and hills…  but not too much today, for it was just a 58 mile day.  Which is practically a rest day.  Ely is actually a good sized town, but we are staying on the outskirts of town tonight, at the Ely KOA.  I learned that

So, I’m going back in time now and writing these posts from a few days later, so I’m forgetting a lot of the details of the ride.  But, since all of the days in Nevada have been the same, I’m guessing there’s not much to say about our rides.  We ride over a mountain, across

Today is mail drop day! But first, the ride.  Easy.  58 miles to a small little town.  Pretty flat roads, a little bit of climbing and after about 1000 feet of ups, there is a sign that says Summit 7500 (or so) feet.  We found that hilarious because usually summit signs come at the end

Today was a short mileage day….  but a lot of elevation.  Okay, not so much elevation, but a lot considering that we are coming off of some very difficult days all in a row.  We’ve been through the desert, up and down mountains, and in the middle of nowhere, but it’s been great – really.
