Not quite Northern California but close!
Good day all !
I’m looking at a potential route for a 200k and think I found one with some promise. It’s located in Northern Nevada being from Silver Springs to Fallon to Shurz to Yerington back to Silver Springs. This is a 121 mile route by my calculations so just a few additional miles and it’s a 200k. I would be riding on US50 and Hwy97 which according to a Reno bike shop is legal.
I’m somewhat familiar with this route but it’s been years since I’ve driven it, any knowledge to share here ?

I don't know if this will help, but it certainly can't hurt. Nevada County rides.

It will probably be windy. Plan accordingly.
