Day 10: 78 miles to Ely,NV

For today's ride we played the "Newlywed" game where we pair up and get to know another teammate as well as possible. Then, once we were to lodging we played a "Newlywed" style game to see who got to know their partner the best. I spent the day with Brett Buchanon and we scored a 10/16 which wasn't good enough for first place. It was great getting to know Brett since we hadn't really talked much up to that point. The game really helped make the day go by faster as well. Today John wrecked in the same way I did a couple days ago. Unfortunately, his bike is totalled. Luckily he is fine but will have to wait to get a new bike until Salt Lake. For lodging we stayed at Hotel Nevada. Built in the '20s, it was once a major attraction for traveling dignitaries. We had an empathy dinner with the local High School ASB students. For the dinner each person is assigned some sort of disability to simulate what eating might be like with the disability. I got to feed a girl her entire meal since her disability was that she did not have use of her arms. It was definitely a very humbling activity not only for the students, but for us as well. Following dinner we cleaned up the vehicles inside and out and spent the rest of the evening relaxing and watching game 6 of the NBA finals.
