Off Day in Boise

Tuesday June 28th, off day in Boise, ID

After breakfast I took a short bike ride to Boise State University.  I wanted to see the "Smurf Turf", the famous blue football field at the stadium.  BSU is a large university on the opposite side of the river across from downtown.  The large stadium is bowled but I found an unattended open gate and somehow sneaked on to the end zone turf.  I had just snapped a couple of photos before being approached by someone from the football staff and being asked to cease and desist.  Oh well, mission accomplished.

Speaking of accomplishments, I also got laundry done (no small feat in a four story hotel with exactly one guest washing machine), cleaned my bike, bought and changed the cleats on my cycling shoes, and updated the blog.  I spent the afternoon inside the hotel as temps approached 100 degrees again.
