Day 1 - California to Nevada to Arizona to Utah

Snacks, water, favourite books, games, DVDs, bikes… All packed up and ready to go.


To kick off our Transcontinental adventure, Dave & I rode our first 5k ride in our “first state”, California.

We headed out on a familiar Californian route; through mountain passes, past a snowless Mountain High, across the desert of cacti and Joshua trees.  We crossed into Nevada and the temperatures outside sky rocketed to 111F.  We made a brief stop in a popular Nevada landmark, Las Vegas, to marvel at the spectacle, before continuing on. 

At the edge of Nevada, we stopped again, at a small park.  And, with the sun beginning to set and a warm wind blowing, we rode our bikes into Arizona and back again.



Before we reached our destination for the day, we crossed one more border, into Utah.

Not bad – Four states in one day!
...only 2,300 miles to go!!
