the rodeo paradeOn the off day I finally got a good nights rest and woke up at 9am. Got some of my errands done, washed my clothes, cleaned my bike and ate. I hate it. every 2 hours I have to eat and off days mean everybody gets the day off including the support group for the riders. that means we have to fend for ourselves and find food. It was annoying to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner to only get hungry 2 hours later. Just about every night i wake up hungry, so i keep a clif bar by my pillow side, chocolate mint, yum. at trips end, chances are i won't wanna look at another clif bar. Hopefully, by the end i can become a faster packer. Every day i've been the last to leave because of my lack of talent in packing.
The route map wasn't very clear on the directions at the beginning of the route so ed and i had an 6 mile detour. Ed wore his grouchy pants today and had a rough day. Don't worry buddy, you're guaranteed to have another. We had a special treat in Newport, Washington. There was a rodeo parade. ya'll ever been to a rodeo parade? you think rodeo, you think horses and cowboys, right? nope, not here. just some random cars driving through the town. I felt shafted. I wanted to see rodeo clowns scaring little kids and cowboys on horses lassoing a calf and wrap that sucker up. now that's a rodeo parade. after the disappointment subsided, we hopped on our saddle and rode into idaho.
about 30 miles into idaho we arrive to our resting stop, Sandpoint High School. Set up camp and Bob Alliston, who is familiar with idaho because he worked here for a few years, escorted us to the lake. You couldn't ask for better water conditions, it had pockets of ice cold water that feels so good on the body. especially after an 80 mile ride in 90+ temps. Thanks bob for taking this picture and of the 18 y.o. lifeguard. But what would you do if some creepy old guy took a picture of your daughter when she was working in a bathing suit? (if you don't have a daughter, then it's ok...keep it up)
