Well if traffice is good if you go down chinden you are looking at 38 minutes. By the freeway 40 minutes at least. I would say chinden.

I'd love to go, but I can't even sit on my bike right now without pain. Just started physical therapy this week and it's already helping, so I'm hoping i'll be back in the saddle soon! If not I'm going to see about having my upper body amputated and surgically implanted on my bike. Kind of like a centaur but with wheels...

put the two together and you have the basic rules of rider etiquette

CMS, give me a call when you are about ready to come over in the morning. I don't want the dogs to apeshit and wake the kids up when someone knocks on the door. lol. I plan on being up at about 10 or so, but if you want to come over earlier, just give me a call.

I'll give you directions at Cheveron, but it's really easy.

Go to hoseshoe bend, at the far end of town there's a stoplight by the chevron, turn left at light.

Take Black canyon road to Washington street. There is a stop sign so you won't miss it.

Washington goes straight through Emmet, when you come out the other side follow the signs and boom your back in Boise.


Sorry I can't do a map I can't get Google maps to do what I want lately.

Well technically it's not my back, but my SI joint in my hip. I pulled some muscles in my back a few months ago and then went snowboarding twice before they completely healed. It caused a downward spiral of my muscles fighting my ligaments to keep everything in line. I also am fortunate enough to get sicatic pain in my foot and leg because of it Physical therapy is going good though, so hopefully I'll be back soon! After putting my joint back in place this morning I tried to sit on my bike and it freaked out my sciatic again so looks like it will be a while longer

Ride safe guys!

Damn good turnout today folks!! I didn't get any pics myself as the phone never even came out of the tank bag, but I saw a few people snapping some shots.

On a fun side note, like 2 miles from the house I pulled up to a red light at Deer Flat road. In the next lane was one of those Yamaha Warrior's. He didn't really look at me but as we were waiting for the light to turn green I heard him throttle up and oh shyt here it comes I can't back down from a challenge...Green light and boom I drop the hammer and we both take off. He hung with me until the top of second then it was all over I backed out at about a buck thirty and he caught up to and gave me the horns rockout symbol with his hands which made me laugh and then we SLOWED down before going around the corner into Kuna.

I may just have to come out and do the Firebird thing a couple times as that was fun as hell.

Is that anyone we know? it looked like a 08-09 Yamaha Warrior with the yellow and black LE paint scheme.

Really good ride for 28 bikes.Thought everyone did a pretty good job of riding and staying within their limits.tc305 took a lot of pics and is probably waiting for Barb to get off work to download them.
