Hello Everyone!
Here I am in Lovelock, NV!--91 miles, and still alive to talk about it! Actually, today was an easy day to ride! It was pretty much just rolling terrain with both headwinds which were not too terrible and tailwinds which helped guide me into this cute, small, quaint town. The ride was mainly riding through the desert, which is beautiful in its own unique way. We've been so lucky for the past 7 days having absolutely GORGEOUS weather! The sun is not too hot, and the wind is not too bad! I've spoken to others who've done this past week's route in the past, where due to blizzard conditions, they were not allowed to go over any of the passes I climbed over the past two days. I am so glad, in spite of how hard it was, that I had the opportunity to bike over these summits! Pics will be coming, I just have to wait til my day of rest in Salt Lake City, Utah to work it all out!
I cannot believe its been a full 6 days of riding already! Time has completely flown by! I am seriously having the time of my life doing this! I am seeing so much, and meeting so many different people from all over, its been great! It is fun to see the different lifestyles and cultures that exist in each of the little towns we pass through. Many of the places and towns we see are places I probably would never get a chance to see if I were not doing this. It has thus far, been an absolutely OUTSTANDING experience!
Lovelock, NV reminds me of Antiock, CA, but with casinos. For those of you who don't know Antiock, watch an episode of the Andy Griffith show. We went to eat dinner tonight at this place called CowPoke Cafe. Judging the restaurant by its name alone, I was a bit frightened to even go....but after 91 miles I was willing to give anything a try. It turns out the place makes all homemade food -- and it was really so amazingly good! We all ate outside, and then a rainstorm passed through after we were done eating.
I am finding EVERYONE in this group of roughly 35 of us are all very supportive and friendly. This just adds more to this great adventure. Plus, this organization is so well organized, and I am finding staff has been amazingly supportive in everyway as well!
I would like to personally thank Carole Smith for allowing me to blog on her computer as today I did not have access to one. Thanks Carole!!!
Here in Lovelock, I have no service on my sprint phone. So, if you were wondering, this is why I have not called nor texted any of you today.
Well, tomorrow will be another busy day, 72 miles...so must go get some rest now! Have a great night all!
Meiri.
