So I am sitting in a hotel again, this time in Reno, but having a much better time. I knew that I'd be here all week, and that I have a hard ride on Sunday. 71mi with 5000 feet of elevation change. Ok what was I thinking when I signed up for that, oh yeah I couldn't let the wife do it and not me. Anyway, I decided to bring my bike with me as I heard that there was a good cycling community up here. The answer to that is yes. I went to a local shop and they drew me a map of an area to ride from my hotel, Silverlegacy by the way. I was planning on doing 30mi today, but at about mile 8 the thunderstorms started to roll in off the mountains. So I turned around and high tailed it back. Nothing like a storm to make you ride alot faster than normal. Only did about 15mi but still better than sitting at the blackjack tables and losing money.
Sorry for the rambling.

p.s. Eating lc at a casino is easier than at home. Between the buffet and all the restaurants offering a 1lb steak and 1lb of crab legs for $15 who could ask for anything more.
