After a very restful night at the RV park I got up early to get ready for a long day of riding. I had breakfast and took a quick shower. I also changed my front wheel since the tire on my other wheel was in pretty sad shape. I got on the road around 7:45. I biked all the way from Austin, NV to Ely,NV. I was in the saddle for 10 hrs 21 minutes and peddled 147 miles. I also crossed 6 major mountain ranges. 4 of the 6 were over 7100' and the other 2 were over 6500'.
The last 90 minutes were done in total darkness with only my headlight & blinky taillight. The ride was challenging but still hot & ugly. I passed several archeoligical dig sites and a few state parks with dinosaur themes. I started looking for fossils beside the road as I peddled. I decided that if I made a new jurassic discovery I would name the creature myasisaur as a tribute to my bike seat.

Atleast in the darkness, you didn't have to worry too much about getting hit by a vehicle. You were probably the only one out there.
