Nevada?

So, I'll stop with the boring details of the exact endpoints...I'm biking across Nevada.  It began as a plan to see Zion NP and Bryce Canyon,  and finally grew to add the bike ride.  I originally planned to start in San Jose,  but timing made it easier to start in Reno (I didn't quit my job this time so I'll be on a finite schedule.  So sad.)

Don't worry!  The high desert of Highway 50 is very different from what you're thinking,  which is the 100-degree-plus oven of Las Vegas.  The average high where I'll be is closer to 90, and the forecast for next week looks like high 80's.  The weather might end up being one of the best parts,  rather than something to be concerned about.

The population will be sparser than anywhere I've been before,  but not by that much.   There is a town every 70 miles or so along highway 50, which is a pretty comfortable daily distance.  The most desolate stretches last year were the same distance,  but had one stop in the middle.  The only difference now is that I don't get that one stop.  If I bring enough food and water to get through the day,  I should be just fine.

So that's the idea.  The empty parts of the country (Wyoming,  Montana, etc) were some of my favorite parts.  I should get a real kick out of the emptiest!
