Had a 72 miler today (making about 150 miles within the past two days). Started with a 12 mile climb up a 2000 foot unnamed pass (complete with asthma), and I think both of us were still pretty tired. We managed the next 60 miles pretty well, even if they were filled with tons of stops and some hesitation on my dad's part. He was thinking about stopping around 40, but we had something of a tailwind (that didn't last), and we needed to get set up for two passes we'll climb tomorrow morning. Scenery was more ranches (more sheep and a lot of irrigation for the grass) with mountains surrounding us and some rolling hills on the road. We did go through some neat old gold mining towns that have been somewhat restored/maintained (including Virginia City and Nevada City). I'm pretty worn out, so I wasn't paying as much attention as usual either. We'll have a 50 miler or something like that tomorrow, and I'm getting some sleep now.
