Cross-Country Route 40 Bike Trip - Day 6A: Battle Mountain to Elko, Nevada (Alternate Routing via I-80)

Formerly/Also Known As Cross-Country Route 40 Bike Trip - Day 6A: Battle Mountain to Elko, Nevada (Alternate Routing via I-80)

 

Distance: 71.7 miles
Description: There are two routings for the Day 6 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 first 27 miles are fairly flat, however, that is followed by two considerable ascents - one of 1,500 feet followed a few miles later by a 1,000 ascent. The last five miles are flat.
