Friday July 1st, Twin Falls ID to Burley ID, 42 miles, 1400 feet of climbing
Today was the shortest ride of the Tour. I'd like to say the distance made for a very easy day, but the combination of eastern headwinds and a chip seal road surface still offered some challenges. Coming out of Twin Falls we took an optional four mile round trip to view Shoshone Falls. From there we road back roads more or less parallel to I-84. The land was irrigated agricultural with a number of potato crops. We were able to get in ahead of the heat (and our rooms from being ready) so most of the group had lunch at a Mexican restaurant adjacent to the Best Western where we are staying. Burley is a small city of about 10,000 in Southern Idaho.
