| There are two routings for the Day 6 biking. This is the safer but longer of the two. It uses back roads to avoid I-80. This section provides for some relatively easier biking with only two major ascents - one south of Palisades Canyon and the other over a back road west of Elko. Both ascents are climbs of about 1,200 feet. There are plenty of towns along the way and with the exception of Palisades Canyon you'll find yourself well supported. Once again, you are advised to carry plenty of drinking water with you. If you follow this itinerary, you do so at your own risk. Failure to exercise good judgment can result in traffic violation citations, injury and even death. If in doubt, please consult with state and local law enforcement agencies. |

| There are two routings for the Day 6 biking. This is the shortest but more dangerous of the two. Rather than use back roads to avoid I-80, it uses the highway itself – not a great idea. The first 27 miles are fairly flat, however, that is followed by two considerable ascents – one of 1,500 feet followed a few miles later by a 1,000 ascent. The last five miles are flat. If you follow this itinerary, you do so at your own risk. Failure to exercise good judgment can result in traffic violation citations, injury and even death. If in doubt, please consult with state and local law enforcement agencies. |
