Tuesday, June 26, 2007, Boise, ID, 0 miles, 0 hrs, 0 hrs on the bike, Ave. Speed: 0 mph, Climb: 0 ft.

Yippee - A rest day! Slept in 'til 1o am, and then started running around. A trip to the bike shop, grocery store, drug store, etc. Also cleaned my bike. Had dinner with friends and am just about done repacking. Tomorrow we head to Mountain Home. It's only a 50 mile ride and it will be easy if there is a tailwind. Otherwise, it could be miserable - especially since the temps are supposed to get close to 100 degrees F.

Thanks for all the comments that keep coming in. They are so fun to read and it is so good to know I have people pulling for me - it really, truly helps!

Way to ride Jean. I rode my bike last night just before sunset 4 miles to see a friend. It was great, a very relaxing pace. You are going to be a way tough biker lady, you already sound a lot stronger. Ivy

Hi Jean,
I finally got to catch up on your travels. You are just amazing! It won't be long before the biggest climbs are behind you.

I have to chastise you about comparing yourself to older people who are in better shape! They are retired, Jean. Retired. They have lots of time to stay in shape.

I like your mantra: Hills are my friends. Here's another one for you: Gravity is my friend. It's true. Despite the toll it takes on our "biosuits", it keeps us grounded to this precious planet.

Seen any wolves or coyotes? :)
Your admiring sister-in-law,
Ann

Jean,

Good job on Teton Pass! It's a big one. Glad you didn't have to ask for a ride. Walking it is even tough.

Talk to you soon.

Sally
