Fallon - Rest Day Summary

-
As time is short I will use a list as we all know that a list makes things much easier to produce and read and then discuss with friends, family, and other items. It is, therefore, a very effective means of communication to you my dear readers.

The list of my rest day at Fallon:
  1. I got some rest as I got out of bed at 8.15am
  2. I booked a sports massage for 3.15pm at a place just down the road
  3. I washed Blossom
  4. I spoke with (in order) my lovely daughter, Sally, my lovely wife, Ruth, then my lovely wife Ruth again
  5. I had my sports massage at 3.15pm from LaNaya - see photo. LaNaya was very funny and we chatted about all sorts of stuff. She also detected that I am a wimp and only kept the pain threshold at 4.5 out of a possible 10. My legs said: "Thank You".

    LaNaya also donated $20 to Starlight and I and the many children who are helped by Starlight say: "Thank You LaNaya".

  6. I then had a nice bath
  7. I then watched a Netflix movie - The Clapper. Easy watching and clean.
  8. I then went back to Restaurant Don Julio and had chicken risotto - it had too much salt but this will stop me getting cramps
  9. I met Brian and Tammy - see photo. Brian reminded me of my brother David - he just joked all of the time and was very funny. He thought I was quite funny so we are now VERY GOOD FRIENDS FOREVER! Tammy was also good fun but we did tease her a little.
  10. I then walked back to my room - see photo
  11. I then did this list
  12. I then discovered that I have started to imagine an imaginary friend. I think the remoteness of Nevada has eventually got to me. Anyway, his name is Arnold. He likes football, eating mushrooms, not eating duck eggs and cutting his toenails. Franklin is viewing this development with a small element of suspicion so I will watch how things develop.
  13. I then finished this list
  14. errr not sure what next but then again who does?

Hello Everybody!

We travelled about 300 metres and then I decided to search for my passport, which I could not find. I went back to Kay’s house and we both searched my room. We could not find the passport so I decided that I had packed it somewhere and even if it turned up I could always go back to Kay’s place given it was only a short ferry ride aw

Hello Everybody! Route: Ely to Eureka and then rest day For the non-mathematicians out there: Distance: 78 miles (Total 3,110) Average speed: 11.2 mph Calories: 2,065 Cycling time: 5h 13min Average cadence: 76 rpm Climb: 3,967ft, Descent: 3,845ft Heart (yes I have one): Max 154 Aver 112 Aver Temp: 30C, Max temp 39C Temperament: Very pleased to get to Eureka PICTURES TO FOLLOW AS YESTERDAY I set off at 7.10am so as to enjoy the lack of any wind, temperature, and traffic, almost just like yesterday. However the difference today was there was a westerly wind hitting me from the start and my legs were not talking to me or each other – they felt very heavy, almost as if they’ve cycled over 3,000-miles. This was only the first 100 metres of the day so I was not thinking happy thoughts at this time. However, Ying and Yang, the wind was caused by the buildings acting as a wind tunnel and I told my legs that

Hello Everybody! Route: Salida to Gunnison For the non-mathematicians out there: Distance: 69 miles (Total 2,323) Average speed: 10.8 mph Calories: 2,484 Cycling time: 6h 21min Average cadence: 72 rpm Climb: 4,419ft, Descent: 3,717ft Heart (yes I have one): Max 147 Aver 119 Aver Temp: 25C, Max temp 34C Temperament: I think I am beginning to enjoy things here I decided to do an early start just in case the wheels fell off. I was very apprehensive about today. I’ve done a lot of miles but not much going upwards since West Virginia, which was quite a time ago it feels. There was only one climb, up to Monarch Pass, and it would take me and dear Bloss to the highest point in our whole USA journey together. It is not the most we will climb as we are starting at a fairly high altitude already. So my concern was reasonably well founded I think.
