Nels and Nick had an on time start at about 8am. Their entire trip was about 111 miles and they biked on the same road for the entire trip. They were biking down Nevada's state road 50 which is considered the loneliest road in America. The ride was long and dry. There was literally nothing on the route - only the dry desert. No rest stops, no sign of civilization, nothing. We arrived at our end point in Austin, Nevada to find out that two kids in the town of 200 had congenital heart disease. The two kids came right to our hotel to sign the signature bikes and receive medals. One of our heart heroes was a 4 year old with Hypoplastic Right Heart Syndrome and other was a 18 year old with Hypotropic Cardiomyopathy. It was a great way to end the day.
