Unfortunately, my attempt to repair my sleeping pad made it worse! Didn&#8217;t sleep great because I was on the ground every 45 minutes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Had a pretty easy ride into Fallon, where we chowed down at a brewpub<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Loaded up on groceries as this is the last town of more than 1k people for 250 miles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stopped to see some cool petroglyphs from 7000 years ago while fighter jets performed high-speed maneuvers above our heads<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Had a looong ride to reach middlegate station &#8211; but the views have been amazing! <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We got drizzled on a bit, which was refreshing. So far the temperatures have been pretty great.. Highs in the upper 70s to low 80s<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Middlegate station is amazing! An old pony express stop way out in the middle of nowhere, it&#8217;s now a bar\/restaurant\/store\/motel\/campground. The food is amazing, and the folks here are super friendly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A local said that this is the greenest she&#8217;s seen the desert in 10 years &#8211; my reason for  doing this route this year is panning out!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We met a west-bounder today riding from salt lake city to sf. Recon is that our road is about to get a much better shoulder.. It hasn&#8217;t been bad though, there&#8217;s only like 1 car every 5-10 minutes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Today we are climbing into some mountains over Carroll summit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure
