The day started off a little chilly, however once the sun completely rose, it was a beautiful day for a bike ride.
It was a day of no services, so I trolled the route making sure all the riders had enough water. The scenery was/is gorgeous, but there is no civilization for as far as the eye can see.
Very 'Breaking Bad'....was a comment made about our accommodations last night in Middlegate Station and I have to say it is a very fitting description.
I passed numerous historical signs on the route today. It was very interesting...the impact of the Pony Express, mining and farming.
Rich suffered a flat even before he left Cold Springs Station.
The remnants of the Pony Express Stop at New Pass Station
The Brits have introduced us to some new words that I think will fit in quite well in our normal vocabulary...the first is Whinging and the second is Yob. To Whing is to whine or complain and a Yob is a hooligan or a lout. I am sure I can use these words very successfully in daily conversation.
We are staying at the Lincoln Motel in Austin, NV. It is old, but more than adequate.
Tomorrow we are off to Eureka, NV.
