Distance 73.7 mi
Vertical 1906 ft
Riding time 5:45

Notes on the day:

- We went supposedly downhill according to our elevation map. But actually climbed a lot of hills.
-Met and had dinner with a volunteer firefightin family of sidecar enthusiasts. They were from outside of carson city, NV and had been attending a sidecar rally. They had really cool motorcycles and liked nuclear power.
-Met a jack of all trades, John Snyder, who was really cool. Helped us find all the stuff we wanted in Kamiah, ID. He had the coolest business card.
-Bavetta had the largest chili dog I have ever seen. Said it was healthy because of all the vegetables.
-We swam in the rapids at Wild Goose, but Bavetta did not go in for very long because he was being unextreme (cold).
-Farmers in ID seem to enjoy rides up and down the same 1/4 mile on motorcyles without helmets. Seriously, we saw this several times.
-We bought soda from a closed conveniece store.
-I declare snack time and repair time to be one and the same. Bavetta disagrees.
