Saturday, June 30, 2007, Burley, ID to Blackfoot, ID, 110 miles, 9 hrs, 20 mins., 7 hrs, 24 min. on the bike, Ave. speed: 14.8 mph, Climb: 1969 ft.

Holy Smokes! Yet another great day! Was up at 4:45 am this morning to get on the road early - when it is cooler and also because it is a century day (100+ miles). We hit the jackpot with the weather again today - warm, sunny and a rockin' tailwind!!!! I could clip along at 17-18 mph with almost no effort pedaling for miles and miles. It also helped that there were no major hills to climb. The ride was uneventful and fast - I couldn't ask for more on a century ride!

My wonderful roommates (who are much faster riders than me and get in much earlier than me) brought my luggage to the room and even stocked the fridge with some chocolate milk - just for me! I also got in early enough to do laundry, and dinner tonight was a great catered dutch oven meal of barbequed chicken.
