Home / Mojave Preserve and Desert bikepacking trips / 2000: Mojave National Preserve Bicycle Camping Trip #2 / Day 5: Day ride from Nipton up to I-15 near Clark Mountain area and back 12
Today is a not quite a day off, but close. I'll stay here and camp at Nipton again tonight. I'm sleeping in today, then going for a short ride up to I-15 and see what the old roads in that area look like.
22.9 miles, 2:08 hours, 33.4 mph max speed, 10.7 mph average on today's "maintenance ride" from 3000 feet up to 3400 feet and back.
