Last day - Alder to Ennis

We started the day by riding seven miles to Nevada City where we had a great breakfast at The Star Bakery.  We then rode one mile through Virginia City and began our last climb.  We climbed about 1,800 feet in about four miles to a fantastic view of the Madison River Valley and the Madison range beyond.  From there it was an easy five-mile glide to the turn off for my daughter Kristina's road. After a nice lunch at her place, we rode the remaining five miles to town where Jim and Diana are staying.  It was a little sad to see our adventure come to an end.  In the three weeks we enjoyed good weather, saw beautiful scenery and had a great time.  I love the independence of my first self-contained tour and expect to take many more trips in the future.
