One of the most challenging road bike rides in the whole U.S., this is typically biked as a multi-day ride. Crossing the Great Basin, this route climbs over 7 distinct mountain ranges, with climbs of upwards of 2000 feet. Traveled from east to west there is an overall downward trend to the road. Most adventurers who take this on will travel with a support vehicle to carry supplies and for safety. The ride travels between Ely and Fernley, Nevada, the two ends of Highway 50, referred to as the Loneliest Road in America due to its very limited traffic, except for the Fernley-Fallon segment. As mapped this adventure runs from Fernley to Ely, though most riders will prefer the east to west direction of reversing this trail.
