As many of you have noticed i've fallen behind in writing. I'm making a real effort to catch up. Everything is fine, I'm just tired and don't have much free time. I am one of the slower riders and by the time I finish it's time to clean and fix any bike issues and then go for dinner. Most mornings I get up at 5 am, eat, and then am on the road by 6 or 630.
Today we rode 85 miles with 1500 feet of climbing. The terrain was rolling and it was 85 degrees when we got in. The area was vast and open range with multiple "cattle guards" . Cattle guards are metal strips across the road which keep cattle within a section of the range. They can't cross without having a leg fall through. It's pretty rough riding a bike across them. We did see many cattle along the side of the road with one or two crossing the street. Later we rode along interstate 86 for 8 miles. The shoulder was wide and clean. An interesting landmark was Resister Rock. It is a big rock that early pioneers carved their names into to record their passing along the snake river in the 1860's.
