The quasi cool thing about idaho is that its flat you get to go through old lava fields, its wide open spaces and small charming towns, however when its 100 degrees out and there's no coverage you get a little cooked. Today was our first day with out the trailers and it was amazing, my knee felt peachy keen.the first part of the day felt like a 22 mile time trial, there's a stretch in idaho where it joins with I-84 and cyclists are allowed on however there was a 22 mile section where road work was being down so we barely had an shoulder and it seemed like everyone and their mom was out for a ride. We were dodging glass, gnarly road kill and some genius who had dropped a box of tons of screws. Riding with your nerves jacked like that isn't that much fun, after lunch things turned around and we are camped in a really cute little farm town near the oregon border. We downed some delicious sangys for dinner then walked to the local DQ to fuel up for our big mile days coming up. The time after we get into a town and before bed is my favorite, I had the same sensation on the AT where you stroll around some small town with a feeling of happiness in knowing that for this one night, the town is your home and tomorrow you'll be on the road again. Tomorrow I will lock lips with and shake my booty at oregon. The light at the end of the tunnel.
Song of the day:
Midnight rider- allman brothers.
