Old Hwy 50 - "The Loneliest Road In America" - By MotoForever

I'd like to add a bit of information about this ride. Going from Reno east to Ely, there is a card you can get stamped to qualify for a honorary loneliest road in america pin and certificate. The bonus is you'll get to see and talk with people from various towns along the way. The museum in Fernley is exceptionally good and the people there, a wealth of culture and information about the area and history. Fallon is where top gun is now, I stayed in Austin (for the motels, gas and food which can be rarities on this road), and heard a few sonic booms! Watch out if you detour to Sand Mountain Recreation Area. There are HUGE water diversion cutouts that are DANGEROUS if going more than 5 MPH! Ely has one of the best Railroad museums and working trains that I've seen and worth seeing. The ride was a mix of straight slabs, but also includes mountain curves, hilly areas, some beautiful landscape and old historic towns. I saw 4 mustangs in the distance while riding this road. Don't forget your water and start with a full tank for sure.
