Re: My Rides in and around Boise. Silver Creek ride 7-1-13
The family and I took a mini vacation this past week. First to a family reunion then up to North Idaho for a day of biking the Hiawatha and a trip to Silverwood Theme Park. This was my 4th time riding the Hiawatha and the family's 3rd time.

We always start out with the start of the trail shot.... that tunnel is 1.6 miles long.
Part of the trail is shared with vehicles, so caution is needed in 1 tunnel
The tunnel entrances (8 of them) all are varied
The 7 trestles are cool too.
Spitting off the trestle seems to happen every time.
Loading the bikes on the shuttle.

Tour de Fat was held last weekend. I volunteered quit a bit, so I didn't manage to get too many pictures. I volunteered for Ride Marshal, Valet, Waterstation and Teardown(Carnie). I left my house by bike at 9:30am and got home at 8pm. It was a fun day of riding and peoplewatching. The parade was much larger than last year's 6000 riders. The grand total raised also was about 20% higher at $55,000 for 3 local bike organizations(BBP, SWIMBA, TVCA).
Boise is one of the top 3 or 4 destinations for TdF especially for costumes.

I was Samurai Futabo from SNL. The theme was SNL.

Not too bad. We have had some very smokey days with visability of less than 2 miles. They are close to Boise but kinda downwind.B607 said:

Still riding every day but I have had no big adventures by bike. Here are a few pics take in the last few weeks along the Boise River Greenbelt.
The bike looks small for some reason.
Footbridge near my office
Old Rail Bridge that now is a Bike and pederstrian bridge.
View from the bridge.

Here are some more. My son and I rode down to the hardware store via the Boise River Greenbelt.
The river is down so the Whitewater Park is showing the adjustable gates.
Thanks, Fall is always nice in the City of Trees.jerrykr said:

Re: My Rides in and around Boise. Fall on the Greenbelt.
I have been taking care of my Dad's dog this past week. My wife does not trust her in the back yard, so I have been hauling her to work. I strapped a milk crate on the Xtracycle.
Saturday, we rode downtown to the Veteran's Day Parade. It was pretty cool especially all the different organizations involved supporting the vets. This is a first time that I have seen a tank rolling down a city street. Afterwards we walked through the Saturday market and picked some items up for dinner.
On the way home, we stopped off at the new bike art installation. Each bike makes music as you pedal and changes tune or rhythm when the handle bars are turned.
