we did ride into Idaho on the 70 mile route even though we got there after the closing time for the 100 miles, but we agreed with the organizing volunteers that we were on our own recognizance. By the time we crossed the finish line they were out of lime rickeys which was disappointing. Our total was 67 so not quite the 70 we were aiming at but close enough. Today we did a lovely leg stretcher 30 miles on the Jordan river parkway/bike trail. I am so in love with the climate up here after coming up from Houston. According to my hubbie the temps in Houston are in the mid 90's with matching humidity so we are already in the white sweat rings on the garage floor stage of summer.

1000 volunteers for 3500 riders is a pretty amazing ratio. No wonder the ride is so popular.
