IDAHO

First state crossing

Monday June 27th, Ontario OR to Boise ID, 64 miles, 1700 feet of climbing

We left the hotel and within only a half mile reached the Idaho state line and said goodbye to spectacular Oregon.  The route today was more or less back roads to Boise with mostly agricultural backdrops.  The final 20 miles were suburban, quite nice Boise neighborhoods.  Fortunately it was a relatively short ride as the temperatures quickly rose- Boise hit 100 degrees in the late afternoon.

Most riders stopped at the local bike shop (George's) for various supplies or mechanical fixes.  We are staying at a Courtyard Marriott close to downtown and will be having an off day tomorrow.  We had a nice catered BBQ dinner on the hotel premises.
