Each year Jeff Warren and a select group of volunteers set out for a week long cycling fest 667 miles from Reno to Huntsman Cancer institute in Salt Lake City.  Each year new hope for finding better cancer treatments and a cure is reborn.

The Ride from Reno, a 667 mile bike ride across the Nevada and Utah deserts, begins Monday, June 15th and concludes Saturday, June 20th at Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City.  Most of the route is on US Highway 50 which has the moniker as “The Loneliest Road in America”.  The Loneliest Road well describes the road traveled by every cancer patient.

The following is the day-to-day itinerary.
