Another day of riding in the rain.
When it came time to leave Burley this morning, it was raining. I waited half-an-hour, but it did not look as though the rain was going to stop, so I headed west. A steady drizzle fell for the first six miles or so. After the rain finally stopped, the wind and overcast sky remained for the next fifteen miles.
My cold body and tired legs prompted me to decide to cut today's ride shorter than I had planned. The rest of the day has been one of resting in Jerome, ID.
The area west of Burley is primarily agricultural ... great expanses of crops ... potatoes, don'cha know. It has often been said that there is an exception to every rule. Twin Falls, ID is the exception to Idaho beauty ... think Ajo.
Once again, I hope it does not rain tomorrow.
Randall!!! I hadn't read for a few days and you're almost through Idaho...wow! So happy for you and your experience - rain or shine. Or rain and more rain. Thanks for keeping your blog updated with the ride. Will keep checking in.
ReplyDeleteHey brother, can you head down to Cornville, we need some rain.
ReplyDeleteJust think, when you have an entire day of sunshine, what a great feeling that will be.
Take care, take your vitamin C.
Hi Randy,
ReplyDeleteThink about how many of us would like a rainy day here in sunny Tucson! You're just making up for the lack of rain you've had in your life up to now!
How did you get the "sky" view picture of the R & G Potato Company building?
Thanks for sharing your journey with all of us. Stay safe and healthy. Talk to you soon.
