Another short day of 53 miles, planned as a warm up for another long day on Thursday (97 miles). After breakfast we started on a nice bike path that ran along the Boise River for about seven miles and then out into the desert. We rode fast in a group, drafting along the Interstate at 24 mph. Stopped for water at a Truck Stop at mile 25 and then rode the back roads for the second half. We actually saw a badger run across the road and into a field with cows. He was too quick for a picture. Not much traffic out here. It seemed you could see 20 miles in all directions and see nothing but mountains, rock and sage. We swung into Wendy's for lunch. People are starting to wonder if they are eating too much. I haven't seen a scale yet, so I ate a Frosty for good luck. The rooms and bags were all ready for us as we pulled in the Best Western about 12:30. A quick shower and I was refreshed. Trip Leader Mike Munk held a tire changing clinic and passed on some secrets to a quick and proper tube change. Dinner was at AJ's tonight, and we will return for breakfast at 5:30 am to get an early start on those 97 miles.
