24Jun08 (Rest Day in Boise, ID)
What a beautiful city! What a beautiful trolley car ride! What a great hotel and city to REST in!
I can’t believe how much fun this city is! The famous Boise State is up here! I spent the day catching up on emails and much needed rest. I even had time to “clean” my bike after getting it serviced.
I went shopping at WinCo’s and George’s Bike shop. (picking up the odds and ends that I needed for the next big leg.)
Last night we said good-bye to our friends who rode the 1st week with us, and I was able to say “hi” to some of the new cyclists. (my namesake who is from Mill Valley, CA)
Also able to get our laundry done and relax a bit, by elevating our feet and legs and if necessary “icing” our legs. (Also a massage was available if an individual cyclist needed a massage!)
Once again, I received some calls from blood centers who are planning blood drives along our route in Rapid City, SD., Pierre, SD., and from Mitchell, SD.! (So blood donations are picking up a little bit!)
Also I picked up some energy drinks which I hope will give me more energy and endurance, etc.?
I been receiving lots of “kind” words and comments are the pix and the blog. (sort of makes it worth it, eh?)
You’ll notice I didn’t take a lot of pix today because it was a “REST” day, however, there are a few pix just to whet your appetite, especially the picture of the “brownie Supreme” … if you know what I mean!

Pics look great. What a great way to enjoy the outdoors. Thanks for sharing them. Can’t wait to see you on Sunday. Luc keeps asking if we are going to pick up Grandpa! He’s excited to see you!

Hi Larry,
Well you made it to Boise. I spent a year serving my mission in Boise and love the area and people. Sounds like you are doing great and I love your blog.
