    If you ignore Utah, and large parts of Colorado and Nevada.

    All three are large Western States. Jefferson county is close to Denver.

    Flying out of Nevada also implies either Reno or Vegas.

    So worth the flight. The actual fucked up part is the probation for vehicular homicide.

      Nah, there’s trains and busses. I don’t think a cyclist would appreciate flying for that.

        There’s no passenger train connection between Reno or Vegas and Denver. And the Bus route is a Greyhound that takes a bit over a day each way.

        The absolute shortest dive between Vegas and Denver is 750 miles, or 1200km. This is over 10 hours of driving, which via bus takes much longer due to the many, many small town stops in between.

        There are several direct flights every day, and round trip will cost you just over $100, and that’s for short notice.

            Sure, take the non-existent train, or spend several days on a bus when a flight makes the same trip several times a day.
