are off to Fallon, NV after a great rest day. The road is smooth and riding easy once we leave the traffic of Carson City. After 11 miles of smooth going we stop in Dayton for what will probably be our last cappuccino for many days. We also have to stop there for our second flat, this time Kits' back tire. This day is a lot of flat, slightly down hill and one small section of road work. We must follow the pilot car and when she (the driver) waves us on she yells out, "Good Luck!". A gesture from a stranger whom we will never see again, but is so touching for us. We ride beside Lahontan Reservoir which Bill, our resident expert and history buff, tells us once, thousands of years ago, covered the entire Great Basin area which we are now riding through. Bill plays 9 holes of golf in Fallon and is done just as we arrive in Fallon. We find our way to the fairgrounds where, after a nice hot shower, we camp for the night in the shade of cottonwood trees. Only downside is the major Trucker Traffic at the intersection where we have set up our tents.
TOTALS: no passes - 67 miles
