Hi All!
YEAH!!! I did it! My first century ride!! It wasn't so bad. We took I-80 down most of it. There was a bit of a hill, which really was a nice challenge and change to the flat land, but still nothing to complain about compared to Mt. Rose! And I will again reiterate how fun it was to coast downhill at 30 mph, and that was against a pretty strong headwind! I also got rained on a touch, but nothing like the other day was. It stopped after about 15 minutes!
The scenery is just amazing out here in the desert. It reminds me of some of the open space that was pretty amazing in the movie Legends of the Fall, minus the huge mountains!
Today we are staying at The Rainbow Hotel and Casino here at Wendover, NV. I tell ya, if you wanna ever see the MOST gaudy and tacky hotel ever in your life, take a trip out here to Wendover! There are mirrors all over the hotel room, and it looks like something Donald Trump or Hugh Hefner would appreciate!!
I reapplied my sunscreen twice, and still ended up with a bit of a burn/dark tan!! I think it may be a bit of windburn given the winds.
I have a long day tomorrow, so gonna cut this short. We are going to Salt Lake City tomorrow, and we all gotta wake up at 5 am! Total mileage tomorrow is 117 miles!
Hope you are all doing well! Will talk to all later! Adios!!! M
