Rest, day 4

Day 4.

0 miles today. A day of rest, consisting of short walks and doing pretty much nothing. The only wifi is in the local pub and i have no phone reception so I'm cut off which is really nice.
I have my own veranda and an amazing setting staying with a very nice family in 1 of theirs semi detached chalet rooms. They are not officially open for business yet (I'm the only person there) but they welcomed me with open arms as they could see I was running out of options for places to stay after a hard day. Been very nice sitting and talking to them. Nice people.

I made a mistake yesterday by confusing Carsons pass and Carson city. I assumed they were the same place but they are not. Anyway, this means that as long as my legs can take it I may be able to complete the climbing and reach Carsons pass at 8,500ft tomorrow. If not i will get very close, maybe kirkwood.
Once at Carson pass it's pretty much 20 miles downhill riding then 25 ish fairly flat miles to reach Carson city.

Great blog! We will be reading & living vicariously through you. 20 mi downhill sounds awesome after the climb. Safe travels!
