Bishop Bike Adventure Day 12 July 12, 2010
This morning, we awoke to the sunrise--another beautiful day.
We tore down camp and left to finish the climb to Winchester. Later in the day, we found great beauty in some country roads that were encapsulated with unripened wheat fields flowing in the strong wind as if waves in the ocean.
While moving through these fields, we were booking it thanks to a strong tail wind, and gradually declining altitude. We note that Idaho's description of its roads that are in "rough" condition would not warrant any mention back east. When we hit a strong descent into Kamiah, where we are overnighting at the Lewis and Clark Resort, we again found ourselves riding the brakes for miles. Supper at the Pizza Factory (“we toss ‘em, they’re awesome”) is providing a restocking of needed carbs and calories.
