Cycling Mash

Tomorrow I start bicycling across Nevada. My goal is to get myself from the front door of my house out to the top of Wheeler Peak (I'll at least get the bike as far as Baker, whether or not I ride the additional way up to the start of the Wheeler trail depends on how I feel once I get out there).

Am I ready?

Kinda.

This weekend, Skeena was dropped off with friends up in Medford, Oregon; one car was taken out and left in Baker, Nevada; and 15 gallons of water have been placed in strategic locations along the cycling route. Right now I'm trying to figure out what clothes to bring with me and where I want to place all of the super reflective stickers I bought earlier today at REI.  To be honest, I'm a bit nervous about traffic (specifically semis, motorhomes, and rented campers), and I know I haven't spent nearly enough time figuring out how to ride a fully loaded bike. I'm ready to give it my best shot, though.

Here goes.....
