Day 2: Reno to Salt Lake City. Total milage 548. 53.4mpg. I only P&G about 10% of the time. Too much concentration. Couldn't enjoy my book on CD. I did EOC down any long hill I came accross. I had about 30-45 minutes in a snow storm. Did not stick to the road but left the road wet. Followed a few trucks going 5 under the speed limit. Kept back far enough so I could see the mirrors. I did get off at the Bonneville exit. (Pictures attached). About 1 hour outside of Salt Lake I heard the flap of my drivers side rear wheel fairing. Next Bathroom break tore off whats left of the plastic. Then in the parking lot of the hotel lost half of my under engine bay fairing. (Coroplast held on with 3 zip ties.) Snow came down while at dinner accross the street. Included picture of car before I left this morning. Daylight is short. Not getting as many miles I thought --- adding an extra day to my plans.
