Now and then, I'll take a ride out the "greenbelt" from the Harris Ranch area to Lucky Peak and back, by moonlight.<BR/><BR/>Sorry I've been absent for a few days; my goal is to post something worthwhile at least once a week. (I've kinda said everything I had to say during the prolific months preceding, so I'm tapering off a bit.)Bikeboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17379272663647894409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-198843833237575122.post-35610345787618059022007-09-27T09:32:00.000-06:002007-09-27T09:32:00.000-06:00No Bikeboy for a few days?

My Wednesday commute started at 6:45, and it included catching the silhouette of a large blue heron, lit by that harvest moon in the west, as I crossed the Boise River. Thought I had interrupted a photo shoot.<BR/><BR/>This morning's ride wasn't quite the eye-candy express, but still there was a full moon, and the lower temps have sent a lot of the cyclists back to their cars, I suppose. Or maybe they're waiting until it's lighter, around 7-7:15. <BR/><BR/>But I'm loving the rides where I'm enveloped in darkness. And I think that 40 degrees F is the perfect riding temperature when you're commuting with a backpack on. Very little sweat on me when I get to the office.dbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09527673886975332497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-198843833237575122.post-38227985805776183712007-09-21T07:55:00.000-06:002007-09-21T07:55:00.000-06:00The Celebration Park route should work just fine, ...The Celebration Park route should work just fine, Bikeboy. <BR/><BR/>You might also consider using one of the Bob Lebow Ride's routes, which start at Nampa High. For a training ride, I cut the 100-mile route in half for a 54-mile loop out there, and it was fantastic - down along the Snake, up through the vineyards, and past Lake Lowell back into town. <BR/><BR/>Let me know if you want details, and I'll map out my specific route for you. <BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://tinyurl.com/3bap94<br/>" REL="nofollow">Click here for the official Lebow route maps.</A><BR/><BR/>And, that's awesome that you're willing to volunteer with those kids. Very rewarding for all of you!dbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09527673886975332497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-198843833237575122.post-61161868125538651542007-09-20T19:21:00.000-06:002007-09-20T19:21:00.000-06:00http://youtube.com/watch?v=hlqRvsHrnioHave you che...http://youtube.com/watch?v=hlqRvsHrnio<BR/><BR/>Have you checked out this video of someone on their commute in Boise? Shows some of the great drivers we have.<BR/><BR/>Regarding the cycling badge, good stuff. At some point people learn that endurance starts in the brain but it seems impossible to teach that to people.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>dlbAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
