Day 55/25 – to Austin, NV

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

Day 54/24 – to Eureka, NV

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

Day 53/23 – to Ely, NV

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

Day 52/22 – to Baker, NV

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. ย But, since all of the days in Nevada have been the same, I’m guessing there’s not much to say about our rides. ย We ride over a mountain, across

Day 51/21- to Milford, UT

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

Day 50/21 – to Cedar City, UT

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.

Day 49/20 to Panguitch, UT

94 freaking miles.  This is the sixth day in a row of riding and it feels like it.   Another day of nearly 6000 feet of elevation gains but so beautiful and so worth it. A few highs: We rode Hog’s Back right out of the gate. This is a road with a cliff on
