Today was a planned short, easy day from Twin Falls to Burley, only 39 miles and 1150 feet of climbing. Since the distance was significantly shorter than most of our rides, we had two "optional sights" to see that would add about 7 extra miles but almost 1000 feet of climbing. With the wind in our face pulling out of the hotel parking lot, most of us departed for Shoshone Falls and Twin Falls, both amazing water flows on the Snake River. Shoshone Falls is known as the Niagara of the West and has a 212 foot drop. The photos above of the falls were courtesy of Deb Alesantrino, Hao Tan, John Hayes, and your truly!
Another activity added to our daily slate of events was a cycling scavenger hunt. The ABB staff gave us about 8 different tasks and we picked stuff up on the way and after our arrival at the hotel. We had a lot of fun with this and even Where's Waldo made an appearance at our event!

Today's 10 mph headwind was a glimpse of the challenge for tomorrow. We head to Pocatello, a scant 85 miles down the road with 1200 feet of climbing. We are now sitting at about 4,000 feet above sea level, so this ride will present winds, distance, and altitude challenges. Could be worse--temps should still be moderate throughout!
Stay healthy,
Steve
