| There are two routings for the Day 7 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 route consists of a gradual ascent from Elko to Pequop Summit – a climb of about 2,000 feet. After that summit, the road is a fairly rapid descent of about 3,000 feet. 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 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. |

| Day five is an improvement over the previous day's route. There are enough frontage and altenate roads to completely avoid using I-80. Also, there are major towns along the way. Still, you are advised to carry plenty of water with you on this day's biking. The terrain is fairly easy with only one significant ascent just east of Winnemucca. 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. |

| The journey continues across the Forty Mile Desert and some of the most inhospitable terranin on the entire route. Extreme caution is advised in this section; please carry plenty of extra water as you may have to go as much as 50 miles between watering oppotunities. Regarding terrain, this section is relatively flat - a far cry from the climb across the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Note: accommodations in Mill City are rather scarce, so advanced reservations are recommended. 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. |
