Due to unsafe riding conditions we had to rake our bikes and drive 45 miles to where we could start biking safely. After that we had a 45 mile ride into Kellogg, ID and it was all on a paved bicycle trial that used to be railroad tracks. It was around a lake and was absolutely beautiful. Since we didn’t have to worry about traffic for the first time on the trip we were able to be more relax and have a little more fun while riding. We stopped and took pictures of the lake and surrounding scenery. Since we didn’t have to worry about traffic we were able to make 6 men pace lines instead of the normal 3 that we were used to! We also played different games while riding to make the time go faster. We were riding a little slow just so we could enjoy the ride and have some fun but it started pouring down rain on us with about 15 miles to go. And since it was 45 degrees outside we instantly all started freezing so we booked it as fast as we could to our lodging so we could warm up and get out of the rain. The last part of the ride was pretty miserable but fun at the same time I was just so relieved when we got off the bikes. We ate lunch and then played some full court basketball. At 5 we went to a local pizzeria for dinner that was sponsored by Wes Clarkson’s parents. Wes is our Crew Chief for the summer, or as we like to call him our mom! We then went to a local McDonalds for some ice cream and free wifi so we could do our blogs!
