Making Great Time

I'm a full day ahead of schedule, having made all of my Utah stops, including the Capitol, and surviving Route 50 from I-15 in Utah all the way to Carson City NV, my second Capitol for the day.💪

50 actually wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. The hottest part, 98°F, was the 100 mile stretch to get to the Nevada border. But once in Nevada, I kept going through mountain passes at 6,000-7,000 feet, which kept the temperature down around 85-90, so not too bad.

I made the entire 190 miles without stopping for gas. I taped two bottles of octane booster to my tank just in case I was getting to fumes. It was a good mpg experiment for the Hoka Hey.

And Nevada was easier, too, in that I've already ridden the 175 miles from Austin to Carson City, just last month, so snap.

The only thing of note was having to stop to get a squished bird out of my wiring. Poor little guy. He flew right into me. I hate that. 😓

Hope to see you on the road! Remember, NO WHINING! ✌️
