A Mellow Day...

Such a fun day today...but let me back up to yesterday.  The planned ride was 97 miles from Mountain Home to Twin Falls, ID.  Unfortunately, I ate something on Wednesday night that caused big issues.  I was up all night and by morning I was dehydrated, drained and exhausted.  I planned on riding but breakfast did not sit well either so it was recommended that I sit out for the day.  At first I was extremely upset because I was pretty psyched to ride but after some discussion I agreed I would rather sit out for one day than end up in the hospital and out for many days.  I ended up sleeping in the van and sleeping most of the day when we got to the hotel.  By this morning I was able to eat again and felt much better and ready to ride.

Today was our shortest riding day on the trip - 39 miles from Twin Falls to Burley, ID.  Because it was such a short day, we also had a scavenger hunt - in teams - for items to find along the way.  In regards to the scavenger hunt, the only thing I will say is that "We were ROBBED!!"  It was nice to have a relaxing day, because the next 6 days are probably the hardest of the trip.  I think we are ready!!!
