Day 7, Vale to Boise

3 mi @ 7.8 riding around town last night and to breakfast. Louis's odometer for the ride from Vale read 74 miles, giving us a grand total of 529.92 miles for the trip.

Another good day riding. The day started with a fantastic breakfast burrito at the Burger Barn. The wind was again generally at our backs and the temperature was great for biking. We entered Idaho. A good chunk of the ride was on quiet secondary roads that run parellel to major highways. We had lunch at the Caldwell pond. Google map tried to put us on a road that does not exist. With a few missteps we got back on track. We rode on the Interstate for 1/2 mile. We had our first experience with extending riding in semi-urban residential areas. We hit the 500 mile mark for the trip.

We stayed with Jeff and Miriam Fitts.

Here is a map of our general route: http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/246348869. It shows that our starting, maximum, and ending elevations were 2,246 ft. 2,920 ft., and 2,778 ft. We climbed 1,352 vertical ft. and had 1 class-5 climb.
