Across America North - day 08 - Ontario, OR --> Boise, ID
We crossed the border into Idaho today. Six days in Idaho will be followed by 5 riding days in Wyoming. Today was a short ride of only 63 miles mostly in rural Oregon and Idaho. Quiet, country roads with little traffic, cool temperatures, and only a few hills made this an easy, pleasant cruise. Racking up 580 miles in a week had a certain effect on the rider so he had to stay out of the saddle as much as he could the last 20 miles. Tomorrow is the end of the first leg of the trip and we have a day off. Just in time for me.
Riders can sign up for legs of the full trip across the country. Today is the end of the first leg and the beginning of the second so riders may come and go during the rest day. One half of a couple is going today and her husband will continue to the Atlantic coast. There are others who join the tour for this leg but we don't know who they are, yet.
Many others have been stopping for lunch but I don't even think of it. I usually have a banana, some gorp, and some cookies at the SAG stops, which are enough.
