It was 34 degrees when we woke up, with a light dusting of snow. We hurried to get everything together so we could warm up on the bikes. Unfortunately, we had a 1200ft descent right away. After the descent, we struggled to get warm because of the wind. This was the case all day. With temperatures in the 50's and 15mph winds, we switched layers depending on whether we were climbing or descending. Eastern Nevada turned out to be a little more scenic than western Nevada; we encountered pine trees and canyons. When we reached Eureka, we decided to continue on to Ely; a 78 mile stretch with no services. We made it to Ely around 7 and found a campsite. Record lows tonight, 26 degrees. We probably won't be up early to ride through that.
