We walked a couple miles to attend mass at St John's Cathedral; the stained glass windows were something to behold as they were so beautiful. We took pictures. Then toured the downtown on the return trip to the motel. It rained on and off during the entire day. Found the people of Boise to be very friendly and courteous.
Boise is definitely a bicycle-friendly city. There are bike paths and bike racks everywhere. Helping the use of bikes is that much of Boise is very flat. Went to a really large bike shop called George's of all things.
A lot of the day was spent catching up on things, cleaning and fixing bikes, etc. Bought what was needed to repair my tubeless tire but didn't have much luck. Will try again tomorrow. Did receive a new Edge 800 from Garmin as a replacement for the one that stopped working during the all day rain last week. Set it up like the replaced unit and loaded the course routes from here to Casper, WY.
Had a great meal at a Pub and Microbrewery called the Ram. A very large place with large screen tv's and memorabilia everywhere. It is known as the "tallest bar" in Boise.
Here is the link for America By Bicycle's blog http://www.americabybicycle.com/wordpress/?cat=22. There you will find another version of what is happening and many pictures, even one of us at the Idaho State Line!
Tomorrow we head for Mountain Home, ID. Hope it doesn't rain.
Did you catch the news that the Chicago Blackhawks won the Stanley cup! Go Hawks!
