[Note: Here is the first of several "make up" entries to get back up to date on the blog - enjoy....]
Today was a nice simple ride to ease us back into the saddle after a day off. We just rode out to the interstate and then biked the interstate all the way to Mountain Home. We had a slight tailwind. One item of note – it is really starting to get hot. We were pretty much in by noon, which was good, because it got close to 100 degrees later in the day.
I had the distinct pleasure of being the 4th person into the first SAG stop – I think this will be a one time event. Normally I am one of the last people in, but today I got to start out from my house, so I had a head start on everyone. I also got in early enough to help with unloading the luggage truck. Again, I think that will be a one time event too, because usually it is already unloaded by the time I arrive.
I had a leisurely lunch and got to chat with our mechanic Jim – he had some interesting tales to tell of other bike trips he has been on. We also had a “drive train” care and feeding class and tonight I did my homework – I cleaned my chain and rear cassette (the gears on the back wheel).
Tomorrow we have a 97 mile ride to Twin Falls. It is going to be hot, but we will have prettier terrain to pedal through.
