Departing Elko


Day 10 the first century ride of the journey and it was a great one! The first 70 miles served up an awesome tail wind then we got a dose of reality with hills and the wind hitting us in the face. The vistas reminded me of Taos with vibrant sunlight on the mountains, cloud formations that any artist would love to paint and the wide open road to spin the wheels. I spent the day with my new friend and adventurer Rob from Houston. He is a great climber who motivated me to push it up the hills. Tomorrow is the 2nd leg of our double century. We go 120 miles then get to give the wheels and best of all the seat a break a day in Salt Lake City. Life is good!
