Finally got a good nights sleep last night and woke to the alarm. I was out at five and got stronger as I went. Today was the first day I felt like I had anything extra. Finally recovered from the death at Kirkwood?
Last night I had dinner with Zach and Natalie at the Urban Cowboy. Good talk and we ate a lot. I got a burger and fries for the road. I had cold French fries for breakfast at my break. Tasted ok.
I was just coming to the end of a long downhill when I saw a cyclist coming up. We chatted for a bit. He was Jay Barnes from Pittsburgh and he had been on the road for 2 months. He was shirtless and looked like he wasn't bothering with sunscreen ... he was pretty toasted.
At 90km I caught up to Forest. He left Eureka at 4am. I had not seen him since Day 1. He had taken an Uber from Plymouth to Carson City the day I died on the mountain. I wonder how much that cost? My day off in Stateline put him in front me. I made that up when I went from Fallon to Austin. He did that in 2 days.
Just finished a not very good Denny's meal. The waitress was impressed I was riding and even more impressed I am 2 years older than her. She came in for a closer look.
Still waiting for rooms so I'm having a beer. I would like to get clean.
I think I'm getting a little tired of Nevada. Tomorrow will be the last night and it is a shorter day so I will probably leave a little later. 6-ish should get me in before noon.
