On to California!
After riding over 300 miles on "The Lonliest Road in America" over 13 mountain passes and escaping from the Nevada creeper, we are almost out of the Great Basin Desert. We are stopped in Fallon, NV after a two day 110 mile-long ride through the desert. In two more days we will be California and crossing the Sierra-Nevada Mountains over Carson Pass, which may very well be our hardest climb yet. It's been a long time since we've been in a town with a movie theater, so a lot of us are going to see the new X-Files movie tonight, which is pretty exciting. A local biking association has offered us dinner and a place to stay for the night, which is pretty great as we haven't slept indoors or had a home cooked meal in a while. Actually that's not true we had a fantastic meal in Eureka, NV after our workshop, which went really well. I don't really have anything else to say. If you are going to be in San Francisco on August 4th, you should come to our arrival party. I don't actually know anything about it, but we will put more information about it on the blog later.

How was "I Want to Believe"? Good luck climbing up to Carson Pass. Please say hi to Caples Lake Resort if you pass it on the way down on Hwy 88.

You guys are way too cool. I'm sorry I won't be in San Francisco to greet you.

Thanks for the great updates...I've enjoyed reading about your adventures and think of you whenever I attend to our busy worms in their cozy composter. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Recent events in Oberlin: Bike Coop was closed much of the summer because security had insurance issues -- they are now open on a limited basis, and I think bike camp is this week. Davis Reese is and Rache Wylie are in town this weekend! There was a rally for the Casa Fiesta 5 on Thursday -- around 100 people gathered, marched, then met near the restauraunt at Vet's Park -- and then swamped Casa Fiesta after the rally -- yes, it reopened!
As it is said, Good to begin well, better to end well .... Have a great finish!
