. . . and Wyoming looms over the mountains.
Well, we made it through the month of June. July might
be another story but we’ll see.
On Saturday we biked 110 miles from Twin Falls, ID to
Blackfoot, ID. It was not nearly as difficult as we
had feared. The weather was good, we got an early
start, it was fairly flat, the roads were quite good
and we had an advantageous tailwind. We had completed
almost 80 miles before we stopped for lunch. We were
at the hotel at about 3:00pm.
Today was almost an off day. Only 34 mostly flat miles
to Idaho Falls, ID.
Tomorrow gets serious. 88 miles to Jackson Hole, WY.
The ride has some very challenging climbs, we gain a
lot of altitude and there are some fast, technical
descents. It’s one of those days that we’ve feared
ever since we decided to do the trip. At least the
weather forecast is favorable and we will see some
beautiful scenery. We’ll pack the camera so that there
is an excuse to get off the bike and rest. Wish us
well.
