So it has been a few days since our last post, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t been up to much. Did we mention that Idaho was great, well it’s worth mentioning again. The nights are freezing, the climbs are brutal ( “I was cat’n heavy on Bonk blvd.” was tossed out yesterday near the end of a serious lung buster at altitude), but the alpine meadows and smooth ribbons of single track keep us coming back.
Over the last few days we rode at an area named Adams Gulch for a nice 17 mile spin, we rode Greenhorn Gulch (everywhere you look there seems to be a Gulch around here), and rode Baker Creek this morning. The ride today was amazing with a nice 8 mile mellow climb to more beautiful views and a 5 mile downhill that had us giggling like schools girls with wrist pain up the wazoo!
We are heading into town now to do some exploring and are all feeling a little self conscious of post ride funk, as this town in ball’n. These hills are dotted with mansions, nice cars, and fancy Shops. All a little out of our league, but the locals around here are all very nice and friendly, they also don’t mind letting us in on all the local highlights such as post ride grub spots, local hot springs, and full reign of bike shop tools. Our time is winding down in this bikers paradise and it will be bitter sweet to leave, although with Downieville on the horizon, the morel is still very high.
poetry for the eyes and ears, this post was
