July already
Today was a relatively short ride from Twin Falls to Burley, ID. It was supposed to be only 38 miles but I think most of the riders did something in the low to mid 40's. Not too bad with the tail wind at our backs. The reasons for the extra miles were a couple of waterfalls that were off the main route and a lot of riders returned to the bridge over the snake river to watch base jumpers. These guys were absolutely crazy. We saw three jump while we were there. They free fall with a parachute and then land in a designated area. The second guy we saw jump stood on the railing, did 2 flips while going down and then opened his chute. From where we were watching it looked like he would definitely end up in the river or in one of the trees lining the river but instead he wound up exactly where he was supposed to. From high above we all gave him a standing ovation and he responded with a bow. We also had a scavenger hunt going on today during the ride and the teams competed after dinner. All the teams did a great job and were very imaginative and we had a few good laughs. Tomorrow on to Pocatello
