Nevada UtahMay 8, 2019November 21, 2020

May 8th, 2019 / (133km/83miles, 1300hm, 8hrs) The day starts with a sunny sky, very few clouds, the rainy weather from yesterday afternoon is gone. I start at 6am as today I’ve one of the longest stretches to tackle: 133km or 83 miles with an elevation gain of roughly 1300 meters. 12 kilometers after Baker, […]

Day 10 / Ely, NV to Baker, NV

NevadaMay 7, 2019November 21, 2020

May 7th, 2019 / (100km/67miles, 1200hm) Woke up at 5:15am this morning, got myself ready, packed and left Ely for one of the medium-length legs of the tour: 100km to Baker, NV, the last stop before entering Utah. It’s pretty cold today when I leave – around 1°C – and for most of the day […]

Day 9 / Eureka, NV to Ely, NV

NevadaMay 6, 2019November 21, 2020

May 6th, 2019 / (124km/77miles, 1300hm) This morning during breakfast at the motel I run into Daniel, another German bicyclist who’s crossing America — in his case from NYC to San Francisco. He’s already 40 days on the road and expects to be in San Francisco in 4 days from today. He has been taking […]

Day 8 / Austin, NV to Eureka, NV

NevadaMay 6, 2019November 21, 2020

May 5th, 2019 / (112km/70miles, 811hm) I plan to start early today — and leave the Motel at shortly past 6am. First stop is the Toiyabe Cafe which opens at 6am and got recommended for breakfast. I have just ordered two eggs with bacon, coffee and an orange juice, when the door opens and in […]

Day 7 / Cold Springs Station, NV to Austin, NV

NevadaMay 4, 2019November 21, 2020

May 4th, 2019 / (80km/48miles) US-50 again. Straight. One slight bend. Straight again. Arrived. More or less that was the day. I decide to have a rest day today in buzzing Austin, Nevada, with a stunning population of 120, declining though. The route today went along the shoulder of US-50 (surprise) which was in excellent […]

Day 6 / Fallon, NV to Cold Springs Station, NV

NevadaMay 4, 2019November 21, 2020

May 3rd, 2019 / (100km/62miles) Most notably, there was US-50. Seriously, I leave Fallon early again and happen to ride through the downtown area that I had missed yesterday. Actually, I think I haven’t missed anything. After a few kilometers thru Fallon and past the adjacent military airbase, I hit US-50 again which leads East. […]

Day 5 / Carson City, NV to Fallon, NV

NevadaMay 4, 2019November 21, 2020

May 2nd, 2019 / (100km/62miles) I started shortly after 7am at -2°C and followed US-50 all day long while it got warmer and warmer. The whole route led along the shoulder of the highway and there was quite some traffic, especially in the morning hours. So far this day has been the one disappointing one: […]

Day 4 / Kirkwood, CA to Carson City, NV

California NevadaMay 1, 2019November 21, 2020

May 1st, 2019 / (88km/55 miles) The day started all sunny which was a welcome change over yesterday’s fog and clouds. Still, it was only 2°C outside, so the rides downhill made it quite chilly with the cold air blowing past. After the remaining climb over Carson Pass (8500 feet), the route gave back all […]
