Day11 ride for Mr. Giraldo and the next major town lies 48 miles further away [110 miles] than the 62 miles he rode yesterday to Fallon, Nevada. So, what will he do today? My guess is that he stops enroute. Maybe at Cold Springs [60.8 miles] or Eastgate [55.2 miles], depending on whether he chooses the northern [longer/flatter] route of the southern [shorter/hillier] route. There is also Middlegate [47.1 miles] just before Highway 50 bears off to the left.  Earlier I did a Google Earth flyover Highway 50 to Austin—quite an interesting route. You can’t tell a lot from the graphic below, but here is a Google Map of the topography. Austin sits just off the map, to the east, at the base of Mt. Prometheus

Rafael has posted new comments to his blog—no Day10 pictures yet.

I welcome your comments…
