Day 11 June 30, 2011

A beautiful day as we biked 97 miles from Mountain Home to Twin Falls, Idaho. We did not have the strong tail winds we had yesterday but for most of the ride we did have a tailwind. The scenery was vastly superior to yesterday. The land was more like that of eastern Oregon as we spent some time riding beside the Snake river. For those of you old enough to remember this is where Evel Kneivel tried to jump the Snake river. In addition to riding by agricultural land with mesas in the background we also went through a lot of dairy cow country. Not the most pleasant smell to ride to but you take the good with the bad. Some of the riders really flew today and averaged 20 mph. I was happy with my 15.5 and being able to finish the ride. This was the first real test for me and so far so good. Tomorrow is a short ride of 38 miles.
