Silver Lake, CA > Carson City, NV
Miles Ridden – 58.9
Mileage to date – 262.1
We woke up to temperatures in the 40s this morning. Quite the change compared to the 100 degrees we experienced 2 days ago. It made for great sleeping in the tent. We had to start riding with light jackets. We got rid of them about 2 miles in. We climbed 10.5 miles to Carson Pass. On the way we passed Kirkwood ski area. At Carsons Pass, we got some water at the ranger station and took a few photos. We then rode downhill for 15 miles where we stopped at Woodfords Station for lunch. This is another former Pony Express stop. It was delicious.
We then rode about 20 miles to Genoa,NV which is the oldest settlement in NV. It is a very quaint town. We stopped at the country store for cold drinks as the temperature was about 95.
We then rode another 15 miles to Carson City where we are staying at the Golden Dust West Hotel which is also a casino!
All in all it was a delightful day of riding. The scenery especially at higher elevations was beautiful.
Great pictures!
Looking good! Keep trucking!
Awesome pictures! Keep on keepin’ on!❤️
Glad you posted again! (We were beginning to think the heat had won–permanently–and you’d decided to call Uber.) Looks like a beautiful ride!
So cool. Love living vicariously through your great adventure!!!
