63 miles with 1,650' of climbing
Within the first mile of leaving the hotel, we crossed into the state of Idaho.
It didn't take long for us to notice the change in the vegetation. From first impression, Idaho offers much better soli for planting crops. As we rode we were able to smell and see corn, beets, mint, onions, etc. The ride was really enjoyable as the temperature was in the 70s and the winds were light.
Here is a photo of two staff members who were monitoring our SAG stops. It's amazing how much food, especially peanut butter that we are eating!
We arrived in Boise a little after noon and met up with some of our fellow cyclists who were having lunch while watching Wimbledon. Just as we sat down, the rain started....close call!
In the photo above, that 's Brian on the left and Kees (pronounced Case) on the right. Brian is from Australia, and he is cycling around the world. Kees who is from the Netherlands is our strongest cyclist.
Tomorrow is our much deserved rest day. Hooray!!!!
You're eating peanut butter?! No wonder almond butter has gotten so much cheaper! ;-)
ReplyDeleteGlad the weather is cooperating.. finally!
So what's on the agenda for rest day? Surely not resting! Have fun doing whatever! Thanks for keeping us back home up to date on your 'doin's'!

PS Don't let Brian give you any ideas. Frank would wither and Clint would be soooo jealous!
