Cross-Country Route 40 Bike Trip - Day 7A: Elko to West Wendover, Nevada (Alternate Routing via I-80)
Formerly/Also Known As Cross-Country Route 40 Bike Trip - Day 7A: Elko to West Wendover, Nevada (Alternate Routing via I-80)
| Distance: |
117.0 miles |
| Description: |
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. |
