Today we had an easy day to ease us off our off day.
We did 50 miles from Boise to Mountain Home, Idaho.
Our perspective has really changed. 50 miles used to
be a hard day of biking. Today I’m thinking that I can
wear my shorts again tomorrow without washing them
because they didn’t hardly get used today.
Mountain Home, ID is the location of an Air Force base
and apparently little else. What we saw of the town
wasn’t impressive in the least.
Tomorrow the challenge resumes with a 97 mile trip to
Twin Falls, ID. We are told there is some beautiful
scenery and we don’t ride on the Interstate.
Doing only 50 miles today got us to the hotel around
noon and before it really warmed up. Tomorrow we won’t
be so lucky. The heat is bound to hit us mid
afternoon.
So far, so good. Less than 3,000 miles to go.
