Dizzy on the punctured Broaster Coaster

Today started out well after a good nights sleep on the grass, the miles fell pretty quickly at the start of the day. Another first of the trip also happened with ben and jack taking there first al fresco poo which went well. After the first big climb of the day up to over 5000ft disaster struck yet again for ben as he got his second puncture of the trip! Jack and tom were three or so miles down the road and had to cycle back up the interstate to find a frustrated ben covered in oil. Upon arrival ben informed the boys that he replaced the inner tube twice as the first one he put on was the already punctured one from the first day, jack and tom laughed a lot and after some funny pictures of ben in dispair we were on the way again. The next twenty miles to battle mountain were pretty boring and when we got there we went for food in another weird casino. The food here was pretty awful with ben and ton going for broasted chicken...if anyone has ant idea how or why it's cooked like that let us know, was like a roasted papa simons, horrible! After that we cycled on to carlin, fifty miles away behind a mountain. On the way there jack took a dive and was feeling dizzy and unable to think properly either because of lack of water or food, plus we hadn't even started the 1500ft climb yet! Managed to find a rest area with some shade where we pulled in to sort ourselves out. Here we met a nice guy called bently brooks who happened to bs a cycling nut and also was the first person we had ever met that owned his own pedalo! After a quick chat and some water we headed off to start the climb to emigrants pass, it wasn't fun. The heat coupled with exhaustion made it quite hard, also the climb appeared in stages so you'd think you could see the top only to pass the corner and see it go up again. Ben and tom made it to the top first (6000ft) followed by a dying jack some ten minutes later. Thank god that was over. Some great views from the top which were probably wasted on us due to being so tired. After a big downhill section we arrived in carlin around 6.30 to find a cheap motel which was the best one yet and had free breakfast!!!! Jack quickly collapsed into bed whilst tom for dome reason tried to clean his teeth with savlon, idiot! Only two days left in Nevada now thank god!
