Boise, ID
36 miles
Close to 600 trip miles
Felt good to be back in the saddle today after 2 full days off. Blaze was well rested, realigned back end, and chomping at the bit. And it was an easy ride, mostly downhill with only one small climb.
City biking is not fun, though. Too many cars. Too little room for bikes. But Boise has some bike lanes which helps. But I made it to the hostel, which is well hidden. Not many folks here even know there is a hostel.
Fuat, a friend from the Adirondacks, is arriving tonight with his bike and gear to join me from here to Portland. This will be his first bike tour. He's gonna love it, I'm sure! And I'm gonna love the company!
Had a great time in Idaho City! Thank you Paul for your warm and easy-going hospitality. Felt like home. Deanna, loved getting to know you, too. And what a cook! Thanks for the wonderful meals you whipped up with such ease. Truly a resting break from the road. And I so enjoyed learning about llamas, even if I can't screw their tethers in securely. Hope we're able to make that llama-packing trip happen in Sept. I'll be in touch.
