Slept in and made oatmeal for breakfast. Around 40 degrees when we woke up. There are no services for 63 miles from Ely to Baker, and no services for 84 miles from Baker to Milford, UT. We decided to make it an easier day and just do 63 miles instead of 147. We stayed for lunch in Ely and then got started on our shorter route with two summits. The climbs were steeper than most of what we've been through in NV. It stayed in the 60's all day, which was nice on climbs, but cool on descents. At 5:30 we arrived in Baker and had pizza at a local restaurant. We met another cyclist who is doing our same route in the other direction, 45 days in. He said he battled headwinds in KS and CO that made for 70 mile days at 8 mph. Hopefully we can avoid some of those by going west to east. Going to sleep early for a full day tomorrow.
