Curse the Weather Forecast!

The weather forecast for the last day of February called for temperatures in the 50s. Never made it, even without winds of up to 25 mph. But the day was not a waste as a small band of real die hard riders made it to El Gallo Giro in Kuna for lunch. I had heard nothing but good things about this place, and I was not disappointed. The food and the service was great! And we got to know some of our friends from Boise Valley Riders a little bit better.

First Ride of 2009

A few of the intrepid members of the Boise Valley Riders took off on my first long ride of the new year(2/22/2009). The temperature was supposed to be in the mid-50s, but it never got that warm. By the time we reached Marsing, the wind had increased and made the ride a bit less enjoyable.

We had lunch at the Double Diamond Bar, which provides an interesting insight into the culture of rural Western Idaho. We encountered a family just finishing their meal, who told us that they also enjoyed riding, but were going shooting that day.

We stopped at our usual watering hole in Marsing, Caba's. It was getting a little late in the day, so we headed home after spending most of the day riding around a great part of the Treasure Valley and socializing with a few of our friends.
