June 7th. Lovelock to Winnemucca

Total Elevation 4324 ft. We rode 73.5 miles today and rode along the Humboldt River for almost 60 miles against a very strong headwind that was relentless. To combat the wind we decided to form a double pace line of 17 members and constantly rotated the lead rider every 3 tenths of a mile.

Winnemucca was having a Basque Festival and we observed several dances, a tug of war and ate a chorizo (suasage) hot dog- the best ever!
