Day 52 - 84.57 Miles
They Say When That Lake Shines, It Really Shines
South Lake Tahoe, CALIFORNIA!!!
We took off early out of Fallon to fight some headwinds on our way to Carson City. We grabbed lunch at Stew's, where Stew's Brews along with Icy Hot and Ibuprofen helped power us over Spooner Pass (picture coming, Marshall), a really tough 2,500 foot climb that was made worth it because of the spectacular (and shiny) sunset over Lake Tahoe as we descended the other side. We rode along the lake for about 10 miles before approaching the state line. Just as we were about to cross into California, we realized we would be passing our last chance to gamble in Nevada, so we stopped for just a couple hands of blackjack at MontBleu (formerly Cesar's). A couple hands turned into a couple shoes (and a bunch of free drinks), but as a pair we ended up winning money (but let's just say Austin was the one doing the tipping).
