CAC2017CYCLINGFOR GREATKIDS
Just like at home, "life happens" out here on the cycling road. Yesterday's 97 mile ride from Mountain Home, ID to Twin Falls, ID was a great day of riding followed by some downright sad internet speed! I tried several times to use the WIFI to get my work done, but decided that I will yield to the electron Gods and knock out the highlights of 29 Jun on 30 Jun!
The morning was cool and a bit less windy than expected, but I was feeling good out of the gate! As depicted above, there is endless amounts of farmland and giant irrigation systems to grown corn, wheat, potatoes, beans, and who knows what else. The wonderful photo above of the fields and sprinkler system was taken by Hao-Tong Yan, a 20 year old sophomore at Swarthmore College.
And if you want to watch the daily GoPro video by Dirk Lohry, use this link below:
As the morning progressed the wind picked up and we had about 10-15 mph on our tail for the whole 5 hours. The highlight of the trip was crossing the incredible bridge photographed by Hao. This bridge is the scene for lots of BASE (Building, Antenna, Span, Earth) jumpers who parachute off this amazing span.
Will keep this shorter and sweeter so as to get 30 June's entry done also!
Stay healthy,
Steve
