Today’s ride was another fast one for much of the route. We had the good fortune of moderate temperatures, favorable winds and a strong group to share the load with. We spent nearly the entire ride today with them, making a 97-mile day a bit easier and more fun. We both worked hard today and are feeling the satisfaction that comes from a strenuous workout.

The route took us through more farmland as we continued to follow the Snake River and finally crossed it when we entered Twin Falls, where we rode over the Perrine Bridge, which spans the Snake River Canyon. The views were impressive and we spent a lot of time hanging out there. The ABB staff told us that they’re unaccustomed to such good conditions on the ride into Twin Falls. We’re not taking anything for granted and we’re enjoying it while it lasts.

We crossed this smaller river that included a fish ladder (the luge-looking chute on the left) so that the salmon can swim upstream and bypass the dam.

Such a cool bridge to ride over!

  4. I remember Evel Knievel’s failed Snake River jump in the early 1970s . . . what a beautiful place to be.
