First Ride of 2009

View Larger Map

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.
