I got up the next morning, I relaxed and took it easy, because I knew that it was going to be a short day, because I had reserved a room in the Motel 6 in Carson City a few days before. I left at around 10 and headed up the road towards Nevada’s capital. <\/p>\n

\"I<\/a>

I listened to the advice.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"A<\/a>

A look at what I came out of yesterday.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Carson<\/a>

Carson City ahead. A good candid of the day to day too.<\/p><\/div>\n

I got there at 11, and went inside to see if they happened to have a room available that early. They did not but told me to come back in an hour. I took advantage of this to head into the city, see the sights, and stop at a bike shop. <\/p>\n

\"Nevada<\/a>

Nevada Statehouse (there were too many trees to get a clear shot from farther away)<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Now<\/a>

Now with extra straight pieces!<\/p><\/div>\n

There I bought another water bottle ( I lost one several days before), a new water bottle cage (one of mine was broken \u2013 related to the lost water bottle), and a pair of shoes (because mine were in tatters). These were much more stiff than my old shoes, which I figured would help because my toes would occasionally get numb if I used my straps on my pedals. They gave me a 15% discount for no reason and installed the cage for free. Thanks to the staff at Bike Smiths for everything!<\/p>\n

I went back through down and checked into Motel 6 and took it easy for the rest of the day. At around 5 the two guys that I met (Francis and Brian) stopped by since I said they could use my shower if they wanted. They did this and headed out and I walked and grabbed dinner and went to Starbucks where I quickly updated an entire week of the website! I went home, sad that this Motel 6 didn’t have Spike TV (free fights were on), and went to bed early. I was woken up at around 11 by Tim and Tim calling asking to use my shower. I said okay, and then they never showed. I went back to sleep.<\/p>\n
