Another early 7am start to beat the noon heat…. A pleasant but windy ride up past some pretty lakes on the 395. I stopped for breakfast at Carson City. Then an ugly ride through Reno…. It was ugly when I rode south through in 2016 and it still ugly.
Then the road ascended higher and higher and it got windier and colder..
Arrived at Susanville in need of a break. And then continued on through the wonderfully wooded Route 44 through the Lessen National Forest before descending to Redding. God it's hot at this altitude.
