How the West was Fun

Today we departed Carson City into the desert and interestingly enough we encountered our first bit of rain. It wasn't a downpour, but enough to make us pull out some of our rain gear. We made the 67 miles by 2:00, it was quite flat but quite windy. We had the wind pushing us along for the first half and we were fighting a cross wind for the second half. In Fallon we found a cheap hotel and walked around town and relaxed for the rest of the night. The funny story for the day happened while we were in the checkout making small talk with the lady and the subject of the tandem bike came up and she exclaimed "I remember you...I pass you guys on the way here!" I guess there aren't too many people riding around town on a bicycle built for two. :)



The day ahead of us looks partly cloudy with south west winds and 100 miles to the next town, probably will be a two day ride.
