  • The TNT is easier to ride self supported than the Comstock EPIC route.

  • The TNT route connects the resupply towns of Austin and Eureka.

  • The (E2W) TNT includes the Project Shoal Atomic Detonation Site.

  • The TNT has a little less climbing than the Comstock EPIC route.

TNT Route Cons

  • More pavement riding (i.e. SR-722), than the Comstock EPIC route.
