The Best Nine: Day 4: Baker, Nevada

Today I woke up from a delightful slumber and went to Penny's Diner for an awesome breakfast of French Toast and scrambled eggs.

The first 10 miles were pretty rough because it was all uphill and into the wind. We reached the summit at about 6300 feet and then had a sweet descent, and then we climbed again to the same exact height! 

After lunch we had a third climb that brought back up to 6300 feet. I really didn't think Utah was that hilly! Eventually we caught a tailwind, and it was magnificent. Eric, Matt, Vant, Nic, and I entered Nevada together.

We stopped at a cafe in Baker a few miles outside our campsite. I literally had the best ice cream sandwich ever. We had to wait out a storm for awhile, but eventually we made to our campsite with the help of a sweet tailwind. Nevada is actually pretty beautiful so far. We will be biking along "The Loneliest Highway in America" for the next few days. It's just 9 towns until we reach our build day in Sparks, NV and a lot of miles!

I'm ready for another night of camping!
