Day Seven - In Heaven

Day Seven – In Heaven

Daily Brief

Our First rest day, and our bodies are doing their best to recover from the weeks riding.

Chillin’ in Boise

Chris and Eric Gwilliam provided us shelter and food. We woke up to a Belgium waffle breakfast complete with homemade whip cream and strawberries. Now, they know how to do breakfast right, and the brownies Chris made were amazing. If you’re ever in Boise, you know where to go for brownie recipes. There was also cheesy eggs and an Idaho morning potato hash-brown type dish. Come to think of it, those were the first potatoes we’ve had in Idaho so far.

After breakfast we were introduced to Mario Kart on the Wii, Chris Rains beat us all. After Mario Kart it was on to church, which we enjoyed. The ward was great and we met Scotty Squire who works at the Power Bar plant and is going to hook us up with some Power Bars. That was music to my ears. After pounding up mountainous hills it really helps to have something of substance to refill your body.

After Church we just set to doing all the stuff we had been putting off all week, like finding places to stay next week, and working on contacting friends about what we are doing.

Even though we haven’t ridden today, all the riders are still feeling their sore muscles and skin. I think our bodies are reminding us that we just pedaled 450 miles.
