1/10

On the route that I have chosen I have a total of ten states to go through. Some are the complete state(looking at you Nevada) and some are just cutting the corners but in all I will pass through ten. I have crossed into state 2. I made it over Carsons pass after a long and dificult climb. My knee is killing me and I am not really looking forward to crossing the desert as it will be hot and dry. Water is my biggest concern and I hope I have enough to get me through. The pace will be slow and I will need to get very early starts something which a job interview has prevented me from doing today. I will have to ride for a few hours in the heat today to make it to my destination. I am hoping to cross without too much trouble. My bike is in good shape I had the brakes adjusted and the whole thing generally checked out I feel like I can do this. I am sure it will be really tough but I think I can. After nevada comes Utah which is not much better then the mountains in Colorado. These next weeks will be some of the toughest that I can think of but I will not look too far ahead. Two days. 60 miles a day. I can do that.
