Today was the crossing of the Snake River into Idaho. Like Washington crossing the Delaware only more important. We're out of Oregon. Figured 520 miles pedaled and about 10,000 feet of elevation gained. Downhills don't count, they go by so fast. I'm sitting here in a friends house in Boise, thank you so much Colleen and Steve (HQ) for setting it up for us. I'm also pretty trashed and tired, we ended up at Applebees up the street tonight for dinner and the tequila and beer tasted really good. It's not like you can get all over town, we only have a bike for transportation and we're not getting near it. So what do we see at the bar but another massage therapist who has been in business in Boise for 13 years and Laura sets up a trade with her for tomorrow, which we planned to take off anyway. So they'll trade, and I'm out of the loop. But we rode 70 miles today, with a big tailwind/crosswind, and left Vale at 8:45 to end up in Boise at 3:30 after eating lunch at a pizza place on the way in Middleton. Miserable ride into Boise for the last 5 miles on a busy road with no shoulder.
Tomorrow we'll see the sights of Boise, around the massages, and walk all we can around town. I plan on some coffee that isn't made in a mom and pop diner, maybe starbucks or something. Hello to all back at the tracon, try to figure out the internet and give a comment or two so I know you're still alive. Letti, thanks for the retirement flyer, I'll send it on. So long from the Aryan nation.

Dang can't believe how close Snake River seems to Colorado! Looks like it's all downhill :) Hope you enjoy the day off and the massages -- I'm sure that you won't be left out in the cold, dad! Hasta pronto
I can't believe you were cut out of the massage loop with two women. That seems right up your alley. Perhaps you can find a biker bar and someone there who you could trade something with you. We miss you in the TRACON and stay safe. I still need to see a vintage photo.

Larry -- CP always said that you had the best leggs he had ever seen so if your gluuts are getting sculpted his advice for the biker bar could have unintended consequences. Stay strong-- JJ
